They sure have improved their name over the years. It wasn't long ago that few even heard of Samsung.

The "tech slowdown" is due to the fact that when a tech company that isn't part of the S&P 500 does well, while companies that are part of the S&P 500 barely makes their guidance, it's seen as a slowdown as S&P 500 companies are part of numerous 401K funds. The same holds true for NASDAQ companies IMHO.

So, you are all saying I shouldn't have a hard time finding a WAN job where my knowledge (and focus) is on things like Lucent CBX500's, GX550's, and Nortel BSN5000's? I need a raise, but can the job be a little closer than it is now, and pay more, and have job security, and, and, and ...

No, I think not. I know too many people in the data communications industry (one of those tech sectors) that is doing pitifully.

about 6 or 7 years ago, samsung was a budget brand, kinda like apex, im suprised that it has established itself as a reputable electronics manufacturer in a very short time span, now samsung clicks in my mind as a quality brand along with the big boys such as sony and panasonic.

Samsung remind me of Hyundai, although they produce decent products, there is a stigma
of producing cheap and poor products attached to their company's name.

I only have one product (DVD) from Samsung, it is working just fine without any problems,
I'm sure eventually I'll have more of Samsung products in the future.
