Kevin and all, I just reread the Luczo interview and still was not enlightened. Maybe that's because I own no SEG. :) He said... For hard-disk drives, we're focusing on tracks per inch, head issues, media issues, and motor issues. How to continue a 100 [percent] to 120 percent growth in areal density year to year. There are so many new technologies, including [servo motors], heads, and chips,so many ways to advance areal density. My comment: everyone else focuses on the same things, what else? Further, why is it necessary to grow areal density at 100+ %? Isn't that partly what has led to the profitless state the industry is in? Too much density growth too fast. Gottfried
