Shane, << we'd be seeing the same monster losses as WDC and Maxtor et al>> Maxtor made money according to company press releases. I suspect they still are. W-D lost $145 million in the Oct-Dec97 Qtr after special charges of $148 M. Jan-Mar qtr report is expected Monday after the close with a mean est of -.45 per share. Best, Stitch

Shane, Your mail is riddled with mis-information. I will correct you on 2 points; Firstly, QNTM, with it's Big-foot line is the most able to cope with tight pricing than their their (3 1/2 competitors); I will leave you to reason why this should be. Secondly, all QNTM's HDD products are manufactured OUTSIDE the US; and subsequently remain mostly immune from the exchange rate problems. Sorry to be hard on you, but please do a little more research before making such rash statements Alan
