I just find the whole idea of Cisco amusing, they still sell new 7500 series routers for 6 figures with the right configurations, and they've been around for 10 years, in what other industry can you take a product that is a decade old, hasn't advanced in technology, and still sell them new for $100,000? Although admittedly most sensible people buy them on ebay for a grand these days. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu] On Behalf Of Stephen Perciballi Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 9:56 AM To: Nicole Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Cisco moves even more to china. Great...So Cisco is turning into the Nike of technology. I can't wait to see 11 year olds building routers that sell for $1.5 million USD, while getting paid 7 cents/hour.

Lovely, Just lovely. Just heard On CNN, Lou Dobbs. (but can't find it
on
their site) During a Beijing news conference John Chambers (Cisco CEO) Says "We
believe in
giving something back and truly becoming a Chineese company." "China
will
become the IT center or the world" "China will become the largest
economy in the
world." CNN Reports: Cisco is investing 32 Million into Changi and is
training
10's of thousands of Chineese university students in Cisco technology. So.. I guess we will be cranking out those H1b's...Plan to kiss your
raises
and or jobs bye bye to some specialized cheap imported Cisco trained
networking
person from China. *SIGH* Nicole -- |\ __ /| (`\ | o_o |__ ) ) // \\ - nmh () daemontech com - Powered by FreeBSD - ------------------------------------------------------ "The term "daemons" is a Judeo-Christian pejorative.
