| Robert, I was hoping I could find one company at least, that could keep the promise of 21 century high tech infrastructure moving forward, in a major way. Unfortunately the promise I was looking for, I now realize in Avanex's case is still a work in progress, as apposed to a fully operational system ,ready for some telcosm to implement. I feel pretty stupid, because I now recal reading back in the summer, reading about the need for the big switch, mact was refering to, inorder to complete Avanex's open optical system. However, obviously, many have had this figured out for some time, and like mact are impressed with Avanex's gear that is fully functional and out there doing good things. Robert you must be a student of technical charting, what you say, makes sense, and I appreciate your input, however I hope the future will be different than what you see. But I can see the world is going through a technological transition, and currently the country is going through a political one, from where I sit, over time, based on the fundamental technological upgrade, I see much more future growth coming through out the world, so I guess its just a matter of doing your homework, and being a patient investor. Take care all, Shaw |
