Jack,

Yes, the cost of a smaller capacity disk would be the same as for the 100Meg, so this would obviously have less margin. If such a disk were introduced it would be because customers wanted it so that they could use these disks more causally and pass them around with less invested. I don't think they would be a huge seller (because on a per meg basis it would be more expensive for the customer) but they could have their place. Any margin hit due to selling these smaller capacity disks would be largely mitigated by increasing volumes (which also reduces cost for all disks; higher throughput lower cost) as we get more and more drives installed.
