Duane, from your posts on the LSI thread, I have cleverly concluded that you spend some time chasing the little white ball. As a fellow addict, please don't allow these minor .08 micron advances to sway you from pursuit of the greatest game of all <g>!. Fascinating to learn that LU had their hands in on the University of Texas/DPMI breakthrough. Where/how did you learn that? I guess that's why LU is one of the only untouchables in my portfolio--the price bothers me if I pause to look at it long enough, but then you find out that they have their fingers in virtually every single telecomunications equipment sector. It's like owning a portfolio of telecom equipment companies. This may be too rudimentary for you, but a poster named Sam Citron once suggested calling Corning and getting a floppy disk mailed to you which illustrates light pulses zipping through a strand of optic cable. I did and it is a neat 'tutorial'. Of course, it is a corporate PR piece for Corning, but the fact of the matter is that GLW invented optical cable and have by far the most experience with its manufacture. They may be low on the food chain as purveyors of what is the asphalt of the i-way, but as the recent announcement shows, their lab boys are not to be taken lightly (clever pun, eh?) Still, DPMI and LU appear to be doing the more exciting stuff--will happily stay involved. Regards, Mike Doyle
