Z, <<Amazing. Aside from all the other possible reasons for the resignation, this highlights a huge problem for any established company, especially in the technology field. >> Want to get really depressed... "The desire to cash out big is not a new motivating force in the technology industry. But what is striking about today's Internet economy is how much of that money lust is focused on selling business plans for their own sake, rather than planning viable businesses." nytimes.com Also of interest to you-- being the first "Z" -- nytimes.com <<By the way, can anyone even keep track of all the companies working on internet security? >> I tried for about 4 months--- failed badly. Gave up and stayed with a hefty investment in Lucent-- lucent.dk -- not anywhere near a pure play. The link and Lucent's partners and white papers are worth exploring. Paul

Well, two resignations that couldn't be more different in terms of my reaction to them. On Sanders: One can only hope for the sake of investors in the drive sector that Fujitsu is tiring of losing money in drives, or at the very least that top managers are weary of managing companies with little or no hope of making any money. A spark of hope (though, of course, it may well be entirely displaced, we can't possibly actually know whay he has resigned, and the above speculations may be total nonsense). And on van Cuylenberg: For this DSS holder at least, depressing. i don't know what kind of manager he really was, but he was certainly articulate in CCs. I hope they can find someone good to replace him. And I hope that the motivation for this was a huge paycheck and not bailing out before we get a peek at the state of SDLT at Comdex. Surprises around every corner. s.
