A search of the Business Wire site ( businesswire.com ) on the keyword "Adaptec" at the moment reveals *four* such lawsuit press releases. Looks like the vultures are really piling on, seeking quick bux in settlements. Typical reaction to a sharp stock-price falloff, especially for that vulture Lerach, who's a notorious adversary of high-tech companies.

Adaptec was subject to and settled just such a lawsuit back in '92, as I recall. Presumably, they learned from that experience (I'm sure their extrememly conservative nature when talking to analysts is a direct result) and that they'll cope with this.

I'd like to see a statement in response to all this from the company sometime soon, and let's hope they have their accounting policy ducks in a row.
