Since I own this, I like the peace. Would you rather have all of the crap that goes on in the Iomega board? I'd rather have a quiet rocket into orbit than a noisy plane crash with everybody screaming: "We're going to die"!.

Leeza, nice to hear from you again. Were you able to get in on the last conference call? If so, anything new to report? Another questions for you and others on the board. I own some XYLN and I am fearful of them being able to compete and succeed against CSCO and LU. It seems that the broad ranges of products that you must be able to offer makes it difficult for XYLN to be able to survive in the long run (thus I am hoping for a takeover). Does the area that NTAP competes with CSCO require as broad a range of products to take care of your customers or is this a narrower more specialized area? I hate to see NTAP become a victim of the one stop shopping trend that seems to be taking place in the networking equipment area. Thanks for any input. PS I am also thankful this board is kind of quiet. Some of the other SI boards are full of childish comments and baseless rumors. We might not have quantity here, but we do seem to have quality.
