Dog - I always like your responses because it makes me hang on to my stock. Good to hear something is going to happen. Question: You seem to have a good feel for the hardware and I am facing some desktop server upgrades so maybe you can help me. I don't want to buy into a server configuration that is on the outs. I read in a lot of the magazines about "fibre channel" and how it is going (maybe is) replacing SCSI, etc as a method of connecting hard drives, etc. Does CPQ/DEC have any available "system" based on fibre channel for desktop servers? I really don't know the topic and maybe you can make a general statement and point me in the right direction. I envision a fibre channel as a LAN loop with all your devices (scanners, tape drives, Disks, etc) as nodes. The speed, I guess, beats 100 baseT and the available nodes beat SCSI-3 limitations? Thanks, Franz
