>>>t's like the distaste Americans have for people who stick necessary e's on the end of words like old (olde) and shop (shoppe). So, in order to make a buck... please don't open a store by the name of "Olde LSI Fibre Channel Shoppe", or it may get torched....<<<<< Probably somebody has already jumped on this. If not then I have to ask "what is all this"----"Barineau " No extra vowels in here, right? BIG <G> Frank

Daniel while looking to find out something about the market size I came across this - the reason why it's fibre and not fiber: (a bit o a lame excuse but an excuse nevertheless) Q: Why does Fibre Channel spell fiber as fibre? Ans: Fibre Channel was originally designed to support fibre optic cabling only. When copper support was added to its feature set some years ago, an ISO (International Standards Organization) task force decided to rename the technology. The committee decided to change the spelling of Fiber, to the French spelling Fibre, to reduce the association with fiber optics while maintaining the name recognition of the Fiber Channel technology.
