Sam, The new Barracuda products are coming out late this quarter. They will ramp to volume in the first quarter of next year (six digit qtys). Also, I just felt like talking QNTM down a little since everyone has been so wildly bullish on it. Regards,

<<If you read the QNTM thread, you know that I don't think that Quantum has "just finished a run" or that DLT will "run out of steam" anytime soon. They seem to have a pretty good handle on things; if their claims about the architecture of DLT being intrinsically superior to their competition (read Sony, I think), then it could go for quite awhile, especially if they can get momentum in international markets as well as US, which they are just now turning their attention to.>> What I find interesting is the talk of moving upscale to the point where DLT in conjuction with libraries can back up mainframes (esp with next generation DLT). This is a huge market and I recall Exabyte once commenting that their Mammoth in conjuction with libraries could do this backup dramatically cheaper.
