It's all so fascinating to watch and evolve. The more have learned the more interesting it has gotten. I was beginning to believe, due to Ethernet massive acceptance, that FC was going to end up a dead end and become even more a niche product then it already is . BRCD/CSCO development pack changes the above thinking near term say one to two years, but in the end I feel Ethernet will win out. It will be fun to watch and apply what we see come about from it all to the correct investment vehicles. Thanks again, Greg

For every engineer working on FC , there will probably be 10 working on 10 and 100 gigabit ethernet. Economies of scale of manufacturing will also be at work. If memory serves, George Gilder in his ground breaking work "Microcosm" went into the idea that "cheap low slower high volume" wins over "fancy faster expensive lower volume" almost every time. In any case as you have pointed out as far as NTAP is concerned, both will be useful. People will use whichever best fits their pocketbook and needs.
