NTAP/BRCD/EMLX -- the lack of FC brand interoperability give FC a short shelf life That is my BIGGEST concern over FC at the current stage, and I did not research FDDI/ATM/E-Net enough to be sure that FC is much better than those.. (maybe you can shine some light? :) However, by watching BRCD/EMLX's sales growth over the past year, I am pretty confident that FC is gaining more acceptance. Here is a link to some interesting reading regarding FC (I am pretty sure not many people know that FC can run on copper media): iol.unh.edu L. ps: Do you have any recommandations on companies selling good FDDI/ATM/E-Net connection products? I think that will be a good starting point for me for my DD. pps: iol.unh.edu list all the network technologies

With the recent gyration in NTAP's price, I've been able to establish an "adequate" position. If it goes a "whole lot lower", I'll get a "whole lot more"; for now though I'm "comfortable with what I have. I want to thank you for the education WRT to the "mass" storage phenomena in general and NAS (with NTAP) in particular. Starting last summer from a position of almost total ignorance, you have guided me to a level of understanding that has resulted in NTAP being a "significant" holding. I'm in your debt sir. Hey I even enjoy kidding with you on the curmudgeon thread. Maybe the next time I'm in Huntsville (to visit inlaws), we can share some Gibson's BBQ. Thanks! lurking... lurqer
