I think that fibre is the BRITISH way of spelling 'fiber', just like 'theatre' instead of 'theater'... It ends up being used that way all over Europe when they are spelling in English (the KING's English)... I am in the paper pulp business, so we end up talking 'fibres'/'fibers' a lot. Loren

Pigboy, good to see you here. Re: "I believe 'Fibre' is simply the French way of saying 'Fiber'." British. Doesn't matter. What I said was right (about why fibre spelling), per Fibre Channel Association definition. Let's not quibble over spelling. What about EMC? I know they are the technology leader in RAID storage, etc. Still a good buy? Thanks for the tips on the small up and coming FC companies. I'm familiar with Gadzoox and Vixel, have used their boxes. They work. Tony

....How does the evolution in new networks go?...thats right, adapter cards, hubs, then switches... ;-)) Cool post, Pigboy. About McData. So it does ESCON (mainframe optical interconnect tech) and FC switches. How big a part of EMC's business will this be in the future? I recall IBM and EMC had to do this weird Chinese wall kind of thing before EMC could buy McData because IBM is one of its biggest customers. Thanks, Gus P.S. Gadzoox has nearly 100% of the FC hub market???? Wow and killer IPO if true. Seagate and Compaq own pieces of Gadzoox, I think.
