you're very welcome, gentlemen and thanks for the prompt replies. i appreciate your specific feeback, frank, and should the Gilder board, et al. respond, do let us know, ray.
as an aside to frank, Loring Wirbel is a chief writer for Electronic Engineering Times. Wirbel's background is 'only' journalism (B.A. out of 'zona) -- he cut his teeth as the science and technology writer for the Albuquerque Tribune -- and the man definitely does his homework. (ray and i? "We're bell boys.")
if you're inclined, you can reach him at <lwirbel@eet.cmp.com>
man, just when i was getting spooked on a (near) future of all-optical switching, he comes out with a glowing, monday morning piece on "network processors" and programmable architectures (including a few bits on optical-packet processing).
what else does he do on the weekends, ray?
here's a link if you're interested; i'm going to post the entire piece on the VTSS board.
enjoy,
-chris.
