Reaeast, CPQ and HWP sell their storage systems as part of the overall server system. Their salesmen are in the door and since both companies have well recognized names and reputations it is an easy sell. The problem with STDM was that they weren't out pounding the pavements, finding out what companies' server plans were, and they relied on resellers without providing needed incentives. It is possible that with the competition they simply can't afford the overhead required to do the marketing and selling required to compete with CPQ and HWP. The new combination might have the critical mass required to support the required infrastructure. It really depends on Artecon and Lambert. Hope you find out some info about Artecon. Karl

Regeast, Requested info on Atecon from Criss at STDM. Here is reply: Karl, Regarding the financial information on Artecon. That information will be available when we file Form S4 with the SEC. Since Artecon is a private company, we cannot make that info available prior to the S4. That filing should occur in late January, sooner if at all possible. Regarding the stock, our intention is to register it under the S4 so it would not be subject to 144 restrictions. Certain insiders may be subject to restrictions, however. Thank you for your continued interest. Criss
