Nancy,

Another thing that encourages me is that Ancor has clearly corrected many of the mistakes made earlier. If you recall the discussion that surrounded the Q2 conference call, and compare where Ancor is today, there is a HUGE difference. Consider these changes:

1. A significant technology licensing and royalty deal with INRANGE.

2. A non-dilutive financing deal with INRANGE.

3. A new (Viking Purple) color scheme for the MKII-8.

4. A re-designed ASIC for the MKII-8.

5. Closure of the Boeing deal.

6. New (and slick) advertising campaign.

7. New Asian distributor to replace Hucom.

8. New San Jose sales office.

9. Settlement of the lawsuit.

10. Significant new hires.

11. The CEO telling investors that the stock is undervalued, and BEING RIGHT!

I also detect a "fire in the belly" attitude that we haven't seen from management in a long time.

Problems within a company can't be corrected overnight. The only way to do it is to take things one at a time. Ancor management has done that. Credit where credit is due. In my opinion, things have changed a LOT since that infamous Q2 conference call, and they have changed for the better.
