Janski, The message is best left standing on its own merits. While I do not have answers to all of your questions, I can tell you that Ancor successfully demonstrated interoperability with other vendors products. There were people asking questions but I wasn't around the booth long enough to observe many. IMO, Ancor's presentation was at least equal to the other FC vendors. BTW, many attendees never made it to the tent where Brocade was exhibiting. (Ancor was in the main hall!) I could not personally validate any prospective buyers of Ancor's switches. As you're aware when free cappucino is being served, all appear to be prospective buyers. Ken & company seem to be in good spirits. I didn't ask how they felt two years ago, however, it was probably equally enthusiastic. Independent feedback on Ancor's new gig [product line] albeit limited was positive. IMO, Ancor ongoingly has positive news to release but, realize they [as a publicly held company] must limit press releases to news of significance. TG
