Likely it was wise to be out of the market when out. Other people were losing money. Half the time I'm sitting here saying - why did I do that? Waiting for a reason is not such a bad idea! It sounds like Suresh likes Linux & (maybe) doesn't like RedHat bacause (maybe) they're not idealists. Instead of for all those reasons carefully researched by ynot. Kind of wonderful the way these ideas keep turning around.

Seriously, do you think most of the disk drive makers will go out of business? And what do you think about this? SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- As it continues to build momentum in delivering core technology for the Storage Area Networking (SAN) marketplace, Seagate Technology, Inc. (NYSE: SEG - news) today announced the shipment of the 1,000,000th Fibre Channel disc drive. The Fibre Channel interface is the critical technology that enables disc drives to directly communicate with other devices across the storage network, including other storage products, peripherals, and servers. Fibre Channel technology benefits users by delivering faster and more widespread access to information, providing the ability to better automate tasks -- such as back-up routines within certain time frames, and sharing information across dissimilar operating platforms. Seagate anticipates that the Company will reach two million Fibre Channel units shipped by Spring. Seagate developed the world's first Fibre Channel disc drive in 1994 and has led in the development and integration of the Fibre Channel interface in storage devices. The company is currently shipping its fourth generation of Fibre Channel products and continues to co-develop Fibre Channel storage technologies with leading OEMs to accelerate the transition to Storage Area Networks. ''This is an important milestone for Seagate and the Fibre Channel interface. Clearly a new generation of applications and architectures including storage area networks are fueling this growth. Looking forward, as the need for capacity is overshadowed by the need for performance, we expect the demand for Fibre Channel interface drives will accelerate,'' Crawford Del Prete, Group Vice President, IDC Storage and Systems Research.
