Ray,

<< I non-concur. The play of the decade is proteomics. >>

I see your non-concur, and I raise you another non-concur. Not so much proteomics per se, but the huge global markets that will be created de novo once proteomics really comes into its own. "Created" is probably a bad choice of words. Thermonuclear detonation is probably more like it. It will be the single most important enabling breakthrough in biotech ever, IMHO, although I realize it is fundamentally dependent on genomics. But, genomics is all but a done deal, in that it is only a matter of time, sequencing muscle, and supercomputing force now. The effect on medicine will be analgous to the effect that the transition from hunter/wanderers to stable, agrarian lifestyles had on the development of civilization.

Raymond: Excuse the ignorance but what is proteomics and where can one read up on it and what company's are in the van of its development? Thanks. JFD

Ray,

I value your vision and insight as usual.

What can you tell me about Velio and Hypechip. I know Velio is private and working on 40G stuff, but that is the limit of my depth.

You component selection looks pretty good.

I have my doubts about Celera. Patenting genes is just about as far a stretch as one can go. It is a good thing the NIH is doing the job right, and their info is free for the asking. Better too.

What is Paracel? Biotech?
