DownSouth, I like your answers better than mine. Thanks. Here is a URL if people want to read about the major players at NetApp: netapp.com And yes, both Dave Hitz and Jim Lau are still with the company.

Thank you for the history. A follow-up question: Are there any business relationships between NTAP and INKT? INKT sells a cache box using OEM CPUs. Is INKT a partner or a competitor, or both? How's INKT's cache box compared to NTAP's? What are end-users saying? (everyone knows that INKT is doing great, hence the concern). Another concern: in the Q that was just reported international revenue growth were strong but north America revenue growth was flat Q/Q at +1%. Are things slowing down for NTAP in north America? If so, why? (top line grew 70% Y/Y, but NA was up only 1% Q/Q?)
