Sure enough the US HQ's is now in Fountain Valley, CA 92708, however 
unless they haven't updated their Main WEB page their World HQ's is 
located in the Science-based Industrial Park in Hsin-chu, Taiwan. No 
indication that they are owned by CISCO. I guess that, that information 
would show-up in the finical statement. However on the D-Link WEB page 
you will find the following statement "D-Link Edged Out Cisco-Linksys 
And Thomson To Take The Lead For Overall Broadband Customer Premise 
Equipment (CPE) Revenue" therefore I'm sure that they are not owned by 
Cisco. It looks like it's Linksys is now owned by Cisco.

Like I said, it's been a long time since I've driven down the "Central 
Expressway" however 20 year ago, that's where they were located.

I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have 
you got a cat?"  Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"
