How do you figure Extreme is in trouble? Monday's WSJ had an article about
the tech stocks slump and Extreme, Foundry, as well as a few others were
noted as part of the 15% that was generally considered to have "turned the
corner" and shown improvement.
Just curious, I hadn't heard anything about them being in trouble, on top
of that we just bought a boatload of their switches (which do seem so far
to work very well by the way)...
I need my car washed! :) Do you need any fries (chips) with that?

Fine but the obvious one is Nortel, but look how many they have fired,
Ericsson the same and I've had experience of their Tigress and Congo/Danube
etc range. Bad support for a poor product. Extreme are in trouble,
Juniper
and Foundry very small. 3Com basically out of it and I think must have
seen
it coming. I am of the opinion you really have to get a wide spread of
experience and certifications.
Anyone need the car washing?
