(Slightly off topic) For those hoping that US techs would be buoyed by better news in S. Korea - the main stock index there (KOSPI) is up about 10% (local currency) since the close of US trading on Friday. Their Saturday session was +2.6% and Monday's another +7.2%. Hopefully this will translate into better performance for MRVC and other techs this week.

<<Could this is be that MRV is going to expand the West Hills division of MRV to get into retail sales now?>> Hi Mike, At the meeting, during the Q&A session, the issue of MRVC and retail was brought up. Noam said he respected COMS choice to go retail. However, he did not feel it was a good one for MRVC right now. Also, my notes say that the COMS hiree was brought on for channel management. Is this the same as head of marketing, just a different label for this industry? Thanks Bud
