who's competing with a telescope?

Not *with*, but maybe *for*... such facilities are ongoing customers with a need for continual upgrades. They are getting the word out now, aren't they? I wish there'd been such a PR announcement for "Independence Day"...

What I find interesting is that such big-science projects are normally quite conservative about what they use for their computing, perhaps not unlike the military. Given that their setup is chock-full of ATM links, FDDI rings, and the like, the presence of Fibre Channel clearly indicates to me that nothing else fit their bill. If Ancor's setup proves itself here, I'd say there's a fair chance that future upgrades will emphasize the fibre channel side...

Disclaimer: just look at today's (lack of) market reaction. :-/
