Tim,

Does JNIC have any technology worth $100 mil or is it just a wannabe company. I am trying to figure out if this is truly a negative for AMCC. It is only a small portion of their cash and it gets them entry into the faster growing storage business. If they are not buying brand name recognition or future technology, then they have blown their money.
