MCDT bulls: sell MCDT, buy MCDTA. By doing so, you'll be getting identical shares (with 10 times the voting rights).

A potential acquirer of McData such as IBM, Sun or even EMC again (because it's cheaper now than when spun off by EMC) would only be interested in MCDTA and not MCDT.

Because MCDTA is 10-15% cheaper now than MCDT, it would be worth the commissions to make the switch. And, you'll probably get a tax loss on sale of the MCDT, reducing your 2001 taxes.

These facts can be checked at the McData company website:
