DS, I agree with your interpretation of the latter part of the press release. In fact you could substitute a few key words in this portion:, "One of the most profound advantages that EMC has over NTAP, and the rest of the industry for that matter, is that it invested early in a proprietary quality assurance process that insures that its products are the most reliable. Not only does EMC maintain close engineering links with their key suppliers , but they subject components and the final system configurations to rigorous stress testing that takes at least 3 weeks." and it wouldn't sound very different than an advertisement for a new surgical procedure that the HMO I work for might be offering.<lol> Sounds a bit defensive to me,BWDIK Trip@hopingoneofmyoffspringbecomesapropellorhead.com

>> This statement is very confusing to me, so I don't understand what the writer is trying to say. The writer is trying to say that EMC RULES, but he is confused as to why, so he made some stuff up. >> I don't know what this 4x and 11x stuff is. I think he's trying to justify why 4 inventory turns a year is better than 11. I wasn't convinced, and I doubt the street will be either. >> Perhaps the writer is trying to learn. Nah, he thinks he knows it all <gg>. uf
