Hi Pat,..Re:.comparisons look familiar?

Yep! <g> Looked up HLIT, DIGL, NEWP and SCMR but their products are lots different from SDLI, JDSU and ETEK. When I looked them up several months ago, I think I eliminated them from our lists because it was too difficult to make comparisons on such different products. (for me anyway!)

However, I was interested in NEWP for a buy but the float is very small and the swings in price were kind of dizzying! <gg> It's mostly an instrument company and I still like it but just watch.<g>

Product links if you're interested.

I think we're more into the heavy duty stuff! <g> Also, in reading about SCMR, it's hard to tell how much of their business is hardware and how much is software. Generally it's necessary for a prospect to have product specifications so I can understand exactly what they are trying to sell. <g>

Happy with our choices,

Lee
