- 999 is the cheapest it probably will ever get so its a good buy
. but if the price of lcds/processors/etc goes down by alot, the ibook could go down even more in price...but the 999 model is basically the same specs as the cd rom drive model (12.1") but cheaper...and diff vid card...i think...and i heard something about the 12.1" cd rom model having a diff case than the 12.1" combo...we'll just have to wait and see when someone here gets a 12.1 ibook

The "control or influence" mantra Chambers has been using for some time. In fact, the business summary quoted above is an almost verbatim repetition of what Chambers said in August when commenting on how he expected the first fiscal quarter to pan out.
Chambers said that by controlling things such as product pricing, and by consolidating suppliers in order to gain volume discounts, Cisco managed to increase key metrics such as gross margin and cash flow to approaching 1999 peaks.
But Chambers cautioned that the company still cannot tell how much of its good performance reflects the market, and how much reflects business won from competitors, many of which, he said, are still losing money.
He said in the last six quarters since Cisco's outlined its current strategic vision, Cisco's revenue has increased 9% from $4.3bn to $4.8bn, while the combined revenue of an index of its top ten North American rivals has declined 48% from $11.2bn to $5.2bn.
Chambers said the four-pronged strategy the firm has been working on is bearing fruit, and that much of the strategy the company is putting in place now is more likely to have a big impact two to four years from now, rather than providing immediate returns.
After talking to customers, Chambers said he identified several areas enterprises are interested in: security, IP telephony, storage, wireless LANs, and data/voice/video convergence. In the service provider market, Chambers said he expects things to get worse before they get better for several quarters.
