Roy, thanks for explaining your sources. At first I was blown away with the amount of competitive info you shared on your former company in light of the trend towards employers who sue former employees ( eg General Motors going after Ignatio Lopez )who end up working for their competitors. I am relieved for your sake that your "G-2" is gleaned from Industry sources outside of your former employer. On a separate post, you made the following statement about Brocade: <<Their FC-AL product notwithstanding they tend to build good boxes and on time>> What did you mean by "their FC-AL product notwithstanding"? Are you implying that Brocade is having problems in their making good on their promised delivery date(s) for Arbitrated Loop, technical/interoperabiltiy problems , architecural/design issues OR all of the above?
