RE: Color kinetics PIC's

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Des,

At the risk of agreeing with Gerard twice in one month, and thus putting
the fabric of Phil's reality under a strain it may not be able to
bear...

Gerard asked "define 'on a backbone'. "...

Well, I could have a stab at defining "on a backbone", and I
don't see anything that talks about having 6.5Gb of backbone capacity.

      errr, I can count 6 x 1 gigabit links there
plus an oc3 and a ds3.
      
      Rounds to 6.5 Gigabit to me!
      
      Cheers, Des.
