DA, you are going to think I am being difficult, but that is not my intent. CHKP is either a "Prince" or a "Chimpanzee", depending upon the position of CSCO. If CSCO is the Gorilla of fw, then CHKP is a Chimpanzee. It could be that the nature of the fw product does not accomodate a Gorilla in the market. In which chase CSCO is the King and CHKP is a Prince. If CSCO is the Gorilla of fw, then CHKP is doomed to Chimpanzeehood forwever.

The growth rate of CHKP seems puny, by Gorilla standards, btw.

Please go to the header of this thread and take a look at the definitions on LindyBill's cheat sheet, if you want to understand what I am saying here. Bigness and/or dominance do not define a Gorilla, in the terms we have come to understand on this thread.

Thanks.
