Barron's Is Way Off Base Regarding Mark to Market

Market Value assumes a willing seller, among other factors. When these loans are NOT for sale and will be held to maturity, the market value should be ascertained by a combination of existing risk of loss, prevailing interesting rate and other perinent factors. NOT THE *PRICE* FROM A FORCED LIQUIDATION SALE!

DUH!

3Com Is Now Really Going After Cisco

as a 20-year networking veteran, I'd like to point out that 3Com has traditionally been a hardware company and its forays into software have been generally disasterous - viz their 'remote access' and the joke "NetBuilder". However, if they ever change their culture and develop software competitive to Cisco IOS, they could have a decent chance as, IMO, Cisco is falling behind in innovation and customer friendliness.
