"Would it not be ironic if Ancor also announces an OEM contract of some magnitude in conjunction with Brocade and others?"

Tom,

What OEM would that be? The ones mentioned by Mr. Snyder? They are not in the same class as the Brocade OEMs so far. I think that any person looking at the trends and data would logically question both the technology and the marketing strategy. A modest OEM may correct those concerns to some extent. I have no doubt that more FC info "leaks" out of Silicon Valley, than information from a Kenneth Starr investigation. In this situation it does not surprise me that Ancor management seems clueless. Sun certainly took them by surprise and I don't think anyone knows for sure what happened there.

"..... his quote was that the fibre channel ocean floats a lot of boats."

That is the most fitting hype quote that ever blessed this board. Most
appropriately, it comes strait from the horses mouth.

"Would it not be

with Brocade and others?"

Good try. But it doesn't even come close to the 'real thing'.
