Interesting that Storage is one of CSCO's only HOT growth sectors....more anecdotal evidence for the sector.

"While Cisco's core business may be sliding a little, the company's surge into storage is going well, company CEO John Chambers said on a confrerence call today. He singled out
Storage Area Networking, along with wireless LANs and IP Telephony as the most promising new advanced technology segments for the company. In the third quarter, he said, Cisco brought in nearly $10 million in storage revenues. The company expects to double that number sequentially each quarter for the next couple of quarters."

Why pay when you can get it for free? It's ridiculous that AAPL is looking at expanding this business.<<<

The fact that they have 1 million downloads in only a few days, and that is ONLY for mac users, and that is only for mac users that download itunes 4, which has some BUGS.

is an indication that people are willing to pay.

If people are unwilling to pay for intellectual property, software, music, etc.,

that undermines the foundation of our free enterprise system,

most people are law abiding citizens, and will not abuse the "free" when it breaks the law, thats why APPLE's foray into music sales has been such a HUGE Success.
