Pigboy,

<<I believe that oem deals are/would be announced a little while (anywhere from 2 to 7 months) before meaningful revenues come in.>>

We might be able to go back and take a look at when the Sequent contract was announced, compared to when NUMA-Q actually shipped, to get an idea of an OEM time-frame from announcement to shipment. (I wasn't heavily involved with Ancor at the time of the original Sequent contract, only the cancellation.)

My understanding is that Ken said that the evaluation process for OEM deals is 6 to 9 months and has just started; therefore, any potential announcement is still a way off.

Obvious impacts include projected cash levels and retaining competitive advantage.

I'd appreciate a clarification if my understanding is off.
