  1. Probably a good fit by i_want_you_to_throw_ · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Anyone wanna revisit why eBay bought 'em in the first place? Did ya just wanna say WTF? Cisco is probably a good fit though. I just hope my home service still works as needed. I bought a GE router with the Skype software in it, bought a SkypeIn number and haven't paid Verizon a bill in 2 years.
