Craig,

We all knew that this company's revenue was based on basically one and only one customer. Furthermore, given the downturn in Asia and Japan in particular, why should we expect that the customer would continue making orders?

What I don't (really) understand is why you and others are so upset? Nothing has changed. The reason you and others believe in this company is because of the technology. Has that changed? Is the technology worse today than it was yesterday? Isn't Fibre Channel still the best thing since sliced bread?

The main reason for owning stock in this company is not because of current revenues or earnings but on expected revenues and earnings in the future. Has that changed since yesterday? Do we no longer think that Ancor can land any deals?

Either you believe in the technology, that next year will finally be the year of Fibre Channel, that they will soon get a big OEM deal or you don't. Has that changed since yesterday based on a measily $1M?

You are trying to have your cake and eat it too. Either you believe in the future (in which case the numbers don't matter) or you don't.

Ed

PS Hope this helps.
