Shugart Calls Conner 'Crazy' For Starting New Company

September 28, 1998, Issue: 1128
Section: News

Mark Hachman

Speaking at the DISKCON '98 conference in San Jose last week, Alan F. Shugart, former chief
executive of Seagate Technology Inc., revealed how he'll spend his time off: He's pushing a
formal proposal to add a "None of the above" category to all California state and federal ballots.
The initiative is part of Shugart's "Friends of Ernest" social-political movement, named after his
dog.

When asked about ex-partner Finis Conner's new disk-drive company, Conner Technology plc,
Shugart replied, "Either he's crazy, or he knows something I don't know."
