My premise almost precisely. Yes, the technological development aspect of FC is so rapidly altered that unless I were directly hooked into the industry I would not feel comfortable investing. For this reason I do not invest into chips, just because I do not know what will come up tomorrow.

When dealing with the application of such technology I feel I have a better business model to predict performance over a longer term. The storage market is a huge buffer against instant disruption for any single player, and those players that are demonstrating superior technology and good business acumen will perform well. I see NTAP and EMC as the dominant positions, with NTAP commanding the technological premium for innovation and evolution. FC is big, and will stay big, but tomorrow can bring a new prince. Storage is safer for me, and still has huge potential. Good luck.
