DownSouth, the author of the article below, which I borrowed from the EMC thread, speaks the Gorilla game, referring to the book. He also mentions two possible new gorillas when asked, both of which have been talked up in here (NTAP and UNPH).

On another subject, if, by any chance IBM's hard drive etc. sourcing agreement announced with EMC yesterday means they, IBM might be backing off big storage, then EMC would become the undisputed gorilla in that field. Or, are they already?

SmartMoney.com: Tell me about some of the smaller companies in
your portfolio. Which one will
be the next gorilla? MacKay: One is Uniphase (UNPH). The
networks of the future are
increasingly fiber optics based. Uniphase supplies the components
for the fiber-optics-transmission
market. A lot of things are going in that direction. There is even
talk of semiconductors themselves
becoming fiber optics based. Another is Network Appliance,
which I've already mentioned.
