As a recent headline from Money.com put it: "CEO Mike Ruettgers is the King of Data Storage." Mike has built EMC into one of the most powerful high-tech franchises in the world-$7 billion in sales, more than $1 billion in net income, and some 20,000 employees in 50 countries. In 1998 BusinessWeek named Mike one of the "World's Top 25 Executives." Worth magazine has named Mike to its list of the 50 Best CEOs in America-twice.

As a follow-up to Mr. Ruettgers' N I keynote, EMC will host a live Internet chat session focusing on the rapid emergence of optical networking and its impact on enterprise storage networking.
