Anyone have any information on the Rodime lawsuit and it potential effect on Seagate? What are they suing about and asking for? I saw something about the case going to the Supreme Court???

I have two comments on the articles from the Bangkok Post and the Bloomberg News. <Seagate Technology Inc., the world's No. 1 maker of computer disk drives, plans to fire* about a tenth of its workers in Thailand> The word fire* is pretty strong when the reductions are all voluntary. dailynews.yahoo.com <The disk-drive market was hit last year with falling prices that forced Western Digital, Seagate and some others to cut employees and costs> The SEG and WDC reductions should not be put in the same category. The restructuring plan caused the reduction in force for SEG. I think SEG is replacing people with machines to increase efficiency. This is different than cutting a portion of business and letting the employees go. Regards, Mark
