Hey Glenn, It looks like the folks at the Data Storage Institute in Singapore not only support your view but are holding a couple of seminars re: the issue of thermal stability. The thermal stability is one of the critical issues for achieving recording densities beyond 10 - 15 Gbits per square inch in the longitudinal mode. For such high densities, media must be thinner and exhibit high magnetic anisotropy, high coercivity, together with much less inter-granular exchange coupling. Yet, little systematic studies have been carried out on this issue. Furthermore very little media candidates capable enough to sustain such high density marks for more than ten years have been know at present. dsi.nus.edu.sg If you look around the site, you can also see that they do a lot of other work with media, which should not be surprising because Singapore accounts for something like 45-50% of all disk drive production, particularly high performance disk drives. I'd be interested in your take of the DSI scene. Also, and this probably rises to the level of plain trivia, Roger Wood spent the better part of his presumably recently completed sabbatical from IBM at DSI. Regards, Gus
