AMF, I wouldn't call my opinion that NTAP is the King of NAS and not the Gorilla of Content Mgt/Distribution a downgrade. I just don't think we have enough credible evidence that the Content platform market has tornadoed. Without a tornado, there is no Gorilla.

I have found myself slipping into an advocacy role wrt NTAP over the years. I am resisting that role. My role is as an investor rather than an adovcate of a particular company. It is in this spirit that I discuss NTAP now.

NTAP's upcoming little filers, DAFS/VI, and BRCM FC networked storage are very hot. The rules that NTAP's competitors are playing by are about to change. I say that with my most subjective hat on.

These downgrades are the results of 1) fear of forward looking statements in the upcoming cc; 2) manipulative; 3) all of the above. (choose one)
