Sarmad -

<I still don't understand how SEG could make a profit from a vertical process where each step is a loser>

IMHO SEG desktop operation is subsidized by their enterprise business. Their enterprise drives do not have much more component costs but their selling price is way higher than a similar capacity desktop drive. Since SEG stopped breaking out sales of enterprise drives I do not know current figures but I guess their enterprise business is about 40% their total units.

<Anyhow, SEG is in the past now>

I haven't written SEG off yet. I can understand why people do not want to own the stock right now but my optimistic view sees a strong company with new management in about six months.

Regards,
Mark
