George -I wouldn't be to worried about Adaptec-the broader market they mean is really the low end of GE and/or Storage.
Adaptec is pretty good on functionality but they really consist of small storage components on things like high end video conferencing walls - real time low resolution video editing and some pretty cool stuff when your taking a presentaton on the road and want to do a live video hook-up to another location. maybe even some palm computing. I've seen their stuff work and they do seems to have some storage components connected to GE like on the video conferencing walls which are basically small LAN based intranets run on GE with storage components -It works pretty well but in the larger picture -small potatoes IMHO.
It's certainly doesn't seem like the future to me and to my eye looks pretty lousy(very low resolution stuff) so far compared to what has come out on FC even 3-4 years ago.

I wouldn't overestimate them yet.

How's your photo work in progress going -It's getting better.
