Haim, You sound awfully bitter. Were you part of the 'deadwood' that McGinn has weeded out during some of the recent acquisitions? I feel this company has one of the best outlooks in the industry. They have very talented engineering (PacketSTAR, Gigabit Ethernet products), aggressive proactive management (Ascend's purchase was brilliant!), and great brand recognition (It comes with the spinoff from AT&T). I think that technology stocks have always been a weak spot with Warren Buffet but he more than makes up for it in other areas. Cheers, Steve

Another point on the "funds dumping LU" thread: Isn't it reasonable to expect that funds would HAVE to sell some of their holdings in a company after that company splits 2 for 1? How else would they maintain balance in their portfolios? Mark
