Don - you mis-read the article. You said "Why can't these guys make money even in competition when they sell the majority of their drives to DELL, CPQ and other top-line makers?" The article said: "The local Enterprise Storage Group already is supplying the majority of high-capacity disk drives used in network servers made by Compaq and Dell, only 16 months after releasing its first product, said Chuck Haggerty, also Western Digital's chief executive officer." Please note that it is the Enterprise Division, not the whole company, that is supplying lots of drives for SERVERS (not all Pc's) made by Dell and Compaq. The Enterprise division is also growing very quickly (not in the Roch. article, but well-known in WDC fan-clubs).
