- rwmj 2y agoIn about 1998 we tried to get acquired by Cisco. They were on an acquisition spree (see the incredible table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Cisco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Cisco). What was interesting is there was basically one director who made the decision on acquisitions. I wish I could remember his name, but he was the guy who came to see us and passed.
