Hi Tom, Sarmad, Here is Gus's take on the IBM/Hitachi deal, in his usual shy, equivocating manner<vbg>; from the EMC thread: The second part is the sale of the IBM disk drive division ($3.0B to $3.8B a year) to Hitachi ($800M a year). Everybody in the industry is quaking in their boots at the prospect of a money-losing IBM disk drive division (current loss rate: $600M-$700M a year) being merged with a money-losing Hitachi disk drive division (current loss rate: a gazillion yen a year) to create a very profitable disk drive juggernaut. Huh? Message 17349771
