I'm a grad student at the University of Maryland, and as I walked in the CS/EE building today I saw that HP was here for a technology expo. Basically demoing a bunch of products to the EE faculty to convince them to buy them for their labs. I'm no EE so most of the stuff doesn't make sense, but I did note that one of the 20 or so products that they were demoing was a "Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet Waveform Analyzer."

HP obviously thinks there's a demand for the product or else they wouldn't have built it. Or maybe it was so trivial to add the FC part to the Gigabit Ethernet analyzer that they stuck it on there. I know nothing about the low-level network stuff to know how much FC and GE have in common there.

I didn't bother talking to anyone about the product because everyone else was in a suit and I was in a t-shirt and jeans. Of course I would (coincidentally) choose today of all days to wear my Ancor t-shirt ;-).
