Some of you have been asking why there isn't a head to head test of the switches and if there is why isn't Ancor willing to publish the results. There are tests out there that pit the Silkworm and MKII head to head. It is not that Ancor is unwilling to publish the results, it is that they legally can not publish the results. The various FC players are enticed into interoperability and performance tests under the rule that the results are kept confidential. That way every one in the FC community can feel comfortable working together to solve their common problems. Once the FC community gets their collective act together, they can be a viable technology, on the scale of ethernet. Ancor's technology is very valuable to anyone who can afford to cultivate it. I believe a lot of people will be knocking themselves over the head in a few months that they didn't pick up a few shares near this level. Cash calls were probably responsible for the majority of the selling today. Anyone out there sell today that wasn't forced to? Steve
