Larry and all, " Western Digital and IBM Sign Definitive Agreement for Hard Disk Drive Component Supply and Technology, Design Licensing" Sunday June 14, 12:00 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Western Digital biz.yahoo.com Excerpt: Under the agreement, IBM will supply Western Digital with its leading areal-density giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, as well as other electronic components which include IBM embedded firmware. Western Digital will use IBM technology and components -- and in some cases, IBM HDD designs -- in its family of WD Caviar desktop drives, simultaneous with IBM's deployment of these technologies and components. So why buy WDC? <g> GM

Larry, <<RE:>GM - not so humble.< GM, you have my vote for man of the hour. Finally, this thread has found someone who is willing to stand behind his opinions.>> He still doesn't have permission to buy Readrite, though <VBG>. <<I'm not as smart or nimble as Yogi. >> Cow flops! I have had an extraordinary streak of studied luck on market timing decisions. I have made some buys with expectations of a given return in 12-24 months and seen those returns in 1-3 months and ,occasionally, even faster. That is nothing more than a lucky break. I am sure The Great Market Gods will punish me with a similar unlucky streak sometime in the future. Yogi
