Bottom line to your rebuttal - these guys are in business to enhance shareholder value. Since Jan 1997, when 3Com peaked, its stock has dropped from approx 80 to 26 - in the same period Cisco has more than quadrupled. You can sugar coat this any way you like but this performance speaks (and in 3 Com's case barks) louder than anything else. <<< Rebuttal: gross margins are high 40's and climbing, inventories are decreasing, inventory turns are increasing, $1.7BB in the bank and estimated $750M in free cash flow this year. Not what I would call a dog. >>>
