Walter, It wasn't my intention to make the thread sound like a funeral, but I think there are valid concerns that should be voiced. On the other hand, one good sized OEM deal would put much of these concerns to rest for good. That's what I'm waiting for. I was just thinking today that most of us long time ANCR holders were 100 percent right about the Fibre Channel market in general. A little early perhaps, but right nonetheless. The only thing left is for Ancor to vindicate us on the specifics. Craig

Walter, <<Hendrickson is a straight shooter. He handled the Sun disappointment exceedingly well. (I say disappointment even though we knew Sun would go with their own people ala Brocade) A lot of managements would not have told us till it "slipped out".>> I agree. So far, Ken has told us the truth, whether we liked it or not. That is certainly a change from the previous regime. This is purely my own speculation, but this was one of the factors that make me think that Q1 might be light. If Q1 was going to be an upside surprise, they might have let the stock price run a little bit. The fact that they didn't leads me to believe that they think that it was getting overvalued for what they could deliver in Q1. Just my opinion, but it is something to consider. Craig
