<<Can you expand on DLT as I don't know much about it. Do we have to be concerned about a rewriteable CD-ROM or DVD technology down the road competing against DLT?>> William, DLT has been qntm's bread and butter and it has been the distinguishing factor between qntm and the other dd companies. DLT is a premier backup storage solution for the midrange enterprise environment. One always has to be concerned about new technologies supplanting DLT, but so far rewritable DVD will be positioned as a consumer product, it is to slow and does not have enough capacity to be positioned as viable competitor to DLT.
