Stitch,re:"I bought more". Courage for industry in turnmoil. I should/could have done so yesterday(ggg). If MXTR IPO is the cause of this UP, then I'm not sure it will last. Nonetheless, the long term should still be up from now on. My investment style sucks (by commumity, ie: with spouse), it's so difficult to sync and say buy/sell at the same time. Since 50% of time either one of us is right, so 100% of the time we are wrong.

Stitch, <<In a word: uncertainty. With Al's departure it isn't clear what is going to happen. Everyone assumes his departure is derived from loggerheads over a major event or decision. Now everyone is waiting for the next shoe to fall.>> do you think its possible that under the new leadership at Seagate that they may want to exit the dd and tape business and become a pure s/w company? Hummm Stock Bull

>With Al's departure it isn't clear what is going to happen.< Hi Stitch, Interesting to come back from the wilds and find something actually happened. Not being everyone, I don't assume loggerheads. Is it possible that this might actually reflect the need for some serious pressure on head operations and sales/marketing? This is still very much a disk drive company and for the immediate future that is the business they have to perform well in. You must know more. Its not like you to buy more uncertainty :o) Best Regards.....Tom
