CFO did and now interim CFO/Global Operations head is bugging out.

Judging from the quality of the latest devices and their poor avialability by palmOne I would argue that it's not a sinking ship but rather a "shaking ship" shaking out people whom should have gone home long time ago :-D

May be a time to consider selling short on Cisco next quarter.
