Looking at SONE's quarterly numbers from November's report, revenue growth doesn't reflect much reluctance on the part of customers.

Comparing the quarter ending 9/98 to that ending 9/99:
Software licenses:.$1.1 million to $2.3 million
Prof'l services:...$3.7 MM to $14.8 MM
Data Center:.......$0.9 MM to $2.1 MM
Other:.............$0.8 MM to $5.7 MM
Total revenues:....$6.5 MM to $24.8 MM
Gross margin:......$1.8 MM to $9.6 MM

I don't see lots of "kicking and screaming" in quadrupling of revenues and quintupling of gross margins over a twelve-month period. Don't the figures indicate fairly rapid adoption of SONE's solutions by SONE's customers?
