Time and customers will show if this split was a good decision. But the whole thing reminds me the DEC TOPS-10 / TOPS-20 / VAX war, the DEC "we are a hardware company" etc. Hopefully Cisco has read this IT history chapter (alt.sys.pdp10) and will not repeat the same mistakes. --John _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
