Hi dmf. Fenway in the Spring, where hope does spring eternal every year, does sound great. Too many things going right now for me though. Here's an article about IBM's Shark that says it has PCI performance problems. Combine that with the fact that it has no Fibre Channel capability yet does make it look like a weak competitor to EMC. Specifically, Shark, officially called the Enterprise Storage Server, suffers from a subpar PCI interface that is causing serious bottle necks and other glitches, according to customers and analysts. The problems are not only a blow to customers but also a black eye to Big Blue itself, which touted Shark as its "EMC killer" disk array when it debuted last July. For all intents and purposes, Shark was to be the IBM machine to help the company recapture lost market share from chief rival EMC Corp. zdnet.com Tony
