Streaks...

Can't say I noticed that, but I have a difficult time with his comment "...never thought anybody would be concerned about cost of ownership" statement, as NetApp has historically positioned themselves as being a much lower cost alternative to EMC - i.e, companies have ALWAYS been concerned with cost of ownership.

Personally, I think he's giving us a warning.

I can tell you that, in the big company I work for, we've have no - that is to say ZERO capital (as opposed to lower cost "expense" items) - expenditures on computer equipment in 2001. Nada! The Sun and EMC reps are pulling their hair out. I received a call from our local NetApp dude asking if I knew anyone inside the company that I could put them in touch with (we're not an NetApp shop). Sadly, I couldn't help him.

I've been out of all stocks since February 23rd...I couldn't stand the pain anymore.

Good luck to all,

Steve
