Thanks, Roger.

"....a good cost structure that allows us to play where most of the volume is." For hard disk drives, this is in the $130-$170 range, the sweet spot for the under-$2,000 system market..."

From where you sit, how do you see this part of the market? Am I correct in assuming that they will extend the useful lives of their trailing edge TFI heads and even their trailing edge MR heads to address this market, basically a 1-3 platter and 2-6 heads segment of the market? It seems to me that the longer they make them, the cheaper those heads and platters should become.

Thanks again.

Gus
