Todd Simpson - You are such a prick!!

You're negative bias toward RDRT always casts "reasonable doubt." I, being the STUD, of course, must educate our readers to the other side of logic.

As for RDRT, investors may indeed be waiting for other 2.8 quals. HOWEVER, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT RDRT HAS QUALIFIED ON MAXTORS 3.4, BUT HAS NOT, AS OF YET, ANNOUNCED THIS!!!!! Perhaps Maxtor ONLY announced the media suppliers to date. Correct or am I missing something!!

My sources indicate that RDRT is very cognizant of the issues with which they are presently faced. This, IMO, is very bullish. Many mgmts deny trouble. RDRT, according to my sources, has superior technology to ALL of the other head manufacturers. This question is debatable and all of you folks will argue that IBM has the best. Ask Maxtor about this!!! Good luck folks. the STUD!!

Interesting bit of HDD news I just came across:

Intel Document Reveals Chip Plans Through 1999
pubs.cmpnet.com

In the latest revision of its processor and chipset roadmap, analysts said the only significant surprise was the cancellation of the chipset that supported the IEEE 1394 serial interface.

Bill,

Hmmm.. IOM + QNTM.. interesting.. have to think about that one ;-)..

I can't see WDC being around solo much longer.. maybe they will get swallowed by IBM.. or maybe the Maxtor folks..

SEG looks to be stable, as does QNTM and IBM and Maxtor. Anyone know anything about the JTS folks.. are they still around or are they being bought, folding etc?

Steve
