<what is SOHO> Small Office-Home Office Like Mom and Pop small offices, or Work-at-Home stuff. CSCO and its access products, small routers etc., are big in this space.

Mel, I think SOHO is an acronym for Small Office/Home Office. As to the market becoming saturated, there are 500 companies in the S&P500. Certainly, the number is finite. But add to that an additional 5500 or so decent-sized publicly traded companies in this country. If you look on a world-wide basis there are around 12,000 potential corporate entities (and I am sure that given the heterogeneous nature of the larger ones that that number underestimates the number of potential installations because one company could easily have multiple installations. MO is a good case in point.) Now add to that the smaller sized companies, many of which are not public. Now add to that the market for accounting and HR stuff in Universities. I think you are getting the drift. Plus, businesses do not stand still. I'm sure that front office applications and some of the sophisticated things that Michelle has been talking about are being considered. So I guess I see lots of opportunities ahead. TTFN, CTC
