GMR heads will probably used for Notebooks, not Servers. IBM wants to increase ThinkPad capacity beyound 4GB. This is probably because you can load CDROM's virtually on a large Hard Drive, this way keeping the size and weight of your notebook down dramatically below 4 lbs. and simply load your CDROMS from an external device. ( I actually do this with my 2GB Thinkpad 560 ) I just doubled my position at 30-1/4. Hope one of those 80% holding institutions opens their mouths soon for us QNTM lovers.
