Interesting speculation on DSS from Machokraut on Yahoo. The most intriguing paragraph is: << Lastly, and this is the absolute kicker... apparently an ATL spin-off/IPO is next in line [after Snap], after which the rest of the business (speak DLT) will be sold off to one of several suitors. The rumormongers within have a very impressive list of suitors. The initial list I was told about this week included HP, Dell, and Network Appliance. Then yesterday I got a call from my buddy and he said that now Compaq is on top of the rumor heap all over sudden. He also told me that there will apparently be an announcement forthcoming in the next week or two that will surprise everybody (he actually said shock everybody).>> I don't normally give credence to Yahoo rumors, but Macho and his friends called the HDD/Maxtor merger pretty well, ahead of the rumor mills. I hope that the "shock" will be a good "shock", and not a "Well, SDLT doesn't work after all" shock. I can't think off-hand of what it could be. Any guesses out there? s.
