Downsouth, You said:

I saw it exactly the same way. I am concerned about IBM and HP moves in EMC's space. Ultimately, I am concerned about who really controls the enabling technology in EMC's space and about barriers to entry for companies like the two I mentioned. I also found EMC share growth this year to pale compared to JDSU. I reinforced JDSU accordingly. A look at it's chart brings to mind CSCO. I don't think this is an accident.
