Yep. That's why I'm in ADPT. Undervalued and has a strong
technology future. The only downside is that these new technologies
will be *more* commodititized than SCSI ... but I forsee ADPT
being able to add value due to their strong engineering capability
and attitudes. I also see a nice add-on market.

Don't pan USB so violently ... a USB device-side chip costs a buck
for the low-speed version. There 43 assorted PC devices that are
perfectly happy with such speeds... the class of human input devices:
mice, joysticks, etc, etc. USB was not designed to be a high-speed
interconnect... it was specifically designed as a serial port replacement.

We won't see firewire device-side chips for < $1 for quite awhile.

Concur on DV and DVD ... the adoption curve will, however, be damped
by the development rate of new software and new concepts.

I would double up on ADPT instantly is I heard they planned a push
in the area of DV/DVD software ... acquisition or something. Their
CD software has become widely adopted. Something in the Killer-app
category for DVD would be interesting, eh?
