I haven't heard that one. I wouldn't put too much into it. But I'm convinced that Seagate will go public again in 2 plus years. That will give them enough time to put their consumer appliance strategy and optical storage and communications strategy in place without the Street beating on them every quarter. Regards, LT

Sam; "Just a little rumor-mongering here. Absolutely NO hard information. Another Yahoo special." Actually Sam there was at least some basis for that rumor. The two companies exchanged visits and discussed mutual ground to the extent that they could. But that was it. That happened last March. The story took on a life of its own but in this case I happened to be fairly close to the action so I didnt get suckered into that one. As to Diskcon doings, LT has already passed on a pretty good handle on the rumor mill. The rest is pretty ordinary stuff. Automation that has absolute resolution measured in microinches, vacuum sputtering systems that can make a deposition of a continuous film down to a few angstroms thick (a clear oxymoron...should be "thin"), lasers that can see and display features down to a half micron. Discussions and papers presented on recording densities exceeding 100 GBits PSI, wall street analysts hollering for everyone to raise every model's price by three dollars (or barring that figure out how to delve deeper into the users need as companys like EMC have done), all amid multiple opportunities for schmoozing and collecting key chains. yawn Best, Stitch P.S. Oh yes, and a partridge in a pear tree. Or, uh, actually a pigeon in the convention hall rafters.
