Bob,

I might have to apologize for saying this, but it seems like it
needs saying.  Marketing needs to get their eye back on the ball.
Replacing Nexenta and all that is sometime in the *FUTURE*, a future
which won't exist if we don't make our numbers.  Numbers that are based
on Cougar sales.  Sales which are driven by marketing.  We need some
Cougar marketing wins and to start moving some Cougars.  We don't need
to spend 5 seconds or 5 cents on this stuff right now.  Am I wrong about
this?  Perhaps there's some piece of the picture I don't have, but
things would seem to be pretty basic these days.

We launced Leopard and it made a big splash, now it's time to get back
to our product line that actually makes the most money.

There, I'm done.  Yes, I do feel better.  Thanks for asking.

Cheers,

a
