Steve, <<I'm sorry guys, but you can't ask for you product back because you are afraid they are going to steal your trade secrets. That is laughable.>> It might be a possibility, depending on the terms of the sale. Since these were likely pre-production units, subject to some terms under NDA, there might have been some hidden clauses that we don't know about. If these were outright sales to Sun, I agree that Ancor would have no way to get them back, but Sun would have no grounds to return them either. Unethical? Don't you see anything unethical about using someone's switches in your test bed, because nobody else could provide anything with a working A/L, asking for and receiving feature enhancements and tweaks, consuming a lot of time and effort from Ancor engineers, and then dismissing them when something else comes along?
