"The head business is still a mystery to me." Seems to be a mystery to RDRT and APM as well. Sorry, I couldn't resist a good straight line like that. ; )

Mark, <<re: Fujitsu "Do they manufacture their own heads?" >> Yes, Fujitsu is vertically integrated on heads and also buy from ALPS and SAE. <<If so who does MKE/SAE sell to? Just Quantum? >> May I assume that MKE/SAE is an incorrect joining of acronyms? I think you meant to write TDK/SAE. The latter sells to almost everyone including Maxtor, Seagate, Fujitsu, IBM, Hitachi, Samsung, Conner, and Western-Digital. I liked Appro's rejoinder to your "mystery" statement. Until I saw it I was going to write that your statement qualified you to be the CEO of APM.<G> Best, Stitch
