Hi gang, this is a little off topic but... I've been watching the stock price of Cisco drop from where it was to where it is now, and have been agonizing over the fact that I can actually afford some. Reading the Analyst Consensus on various sites and Cnbc it seems like we're going to hell in a hand basket. The insight that I need is, Is it slowing down as bad as they tell us? What is the life span of the average router, warranty? How often are routers, switches, etc. replaced? Is Cisco a bad investment right now? You folks are out in the trenches so any help or insight that you can offer is a help.
