<<Gentlemen, gentlemen;>> Stitch, You are very kind. We are deserving of so much worse. If I am correct in my assumption that Hutchinson is far and away the technology leader in suspensions, everything you said in your post about lower flying heights and increased precision seems to point to increased dominance for HTCH. Aside from these trends continuing throughout the remainder of the life of Pico heads, Hutchinson has described the next generation Femto heads as "orders of magnitude" more difficult. In your estimation is this and accurate assessment or somewhat of an exaggeration. Frankly, looking at the size of a Femto head, it's truly amazing the things could fly at all, even without carrying the added weight of a suspension. Any thoughts on my assumptions and the conclusion drawn? -Z
