Well Mark, I never knew you not to throw a lot of questions or thoughts out in one message.

After listening to Haggerty, a soapbox evangelist shouting that the end is near would have been upbeat. But then, he's carrying a heavy load.

Quantum, IMO, is best poised for whatever the A/V market brings us. There in it already. Next week they will announce a deal with Panasonic (besides all the Tivo, Replay and Sony stuff)

Bigfoot is dead. Just shipping residual inventory. No new builds.

A Quantum source tells me their low cost design efforts have been dusted off and are being put on a fast track. Time will tell if they and the rest of Johnny come latelys can catch the rising curve.

SDLT still on schedule and I think they will be in the market before LTO.

Samsung - those scrappy Koreans are still at it. On average they made $4 a drive last quarter. Expect them to be hurting like the rest of the herd this quarter, but they are still working those deep pockets.

I'm out of breath, Mark.

Regards,
LT

Hey Mark,

You've got to quit posting to this thread before you have that first cup of coffee in the morning. Calm those nerves man.

There is a whole lot more visibility and stability in the DLT market than in the HDD market. That's the whole point for the tracking stocks. It's because of predictability that the P/E multiple for QDSS will be so good.
