Stitch - You make the tech advancement seem so scary... Sounds like APM isn't going to take it all on at once: <<During fiscal 1997 production of inductive thin film products started to transition from the nanoslider form factor, where approximately 8,400 individual (unyielded) sliders can be produced from each six inch wafer, to the pico slider form factor, where approximately 14,700 individual (unyielded) sliders can be produced from each wafer. This transition is expected to be completed during the first half of fiscal 1998. Production of MR wafers is expected to continue in the nanoslider form factor for all of fiscal 1998.>> MR will stay nano through the transition. todd
