OT hey Paul, I've come in here every now and then and touted Fibre Channel. I think it is important with Intel bc from what I have gathered, Intel is interested in using FC with their Server Farms. Anyhow, here's the latest from George Gilder which I thought was an interesting read. I enjoy listening to him blab bc I think he's a pretty smart chap. Here, he pretty much sees Networked Attached Storage (NAS) as much more important than FC. Message 11950408 I wonder if you or Tony or Amy, Ibexx, etc... have opinions on this stuff? I'm just a simple pigboy but I think Gilder has got Fibre Channel way wrong bc to me it seems that nothing soon will displace Fibre Channel on the storage side and plans from EMC, SUNW, even Dell, IBM, others confirm this. Is storage gonna be dumb and dumber like Gilder wants to believe or will SANs (which offload data from the LAN/backup) be allowed to have some intelligence? Personally, I believe in the motto that 'truth lies in the middle ground' and I believe NAS and FC SANs will co-exist and grow abundantly (such as in the drawing plans of small companies like MTIC). Thanks for any thoughts. And I know you have kids who like to play vids. Check out the latest macromedia shockwave and play a version of the classic 'missilecommand' real time on your pc. pretty fun. shockwave.com cheers, pigboy
