Hi George, I've been hanging out on some "data storage company" threads for some time and have attempted to keep my finger on the pulse of FC, so to speak. I think it's slow to take-off because users are content with RAID and DLT. The adage applies, "if it ain't broke... "

BoxHill lost a lot of money for me in their past Q when they put all their eggs in the FC basket, according to them, too early. They said, however (and I don't necessarily believe this is "lift-off"), that beginning in March, FC sales began doing well.

To me, it's like the difference between a Pentium and a Pentium II. If the Pentium is doing everything I need, why buy a PII just because it does it a second faster.
