You need to do some research on DWDM before making these comments. While you're at it, check out DWDN. Of course you'll only find DWDN at Osicom. But the company deserves some of the egg in the face right now. They've made soem mistakes that will take either time for the market to get over, or earnings. One big sales announcement and Par doesn't have to sit in the corner any more.

JBC Someone posted this to you on RB so I just copied it here for them. >>OT-To the O-ring guy on SI. The redesign of the O-ring joint on the space shuttle was a no brainer. Originally, they only had one o-ring sealing the joint with no backup. They added a backup and decided not to launch below a certain temp. If the guy who ordered the launch paid attention to the engineers who said that the o-rings would lose their effectiveness at that temp, there was an improved chance the thing would not have blown up. Now try to get a new medical device into the market-that is time consuming. The minimum test period for an implantable is 18 months, and that is if it is similar to another device.
