Don't forget this is a cash rich company, with an acquisition minded new CEO. Any chance that this cash rich company would want to acquire a head manufacturer with cutting edge GMR technology and a few management problems? <ggg> This acquisition would leave a competitor of SEG's dependant on other drive makers for its heads.

Stitch, what brought the comment regarding the sale of the dd and tape business to mind is the fact that the new CEO/President came from investment banking. He's the one that worked on the purchase of the s/w company. Why wasn't Shugardt replaced with a guy from the high tech business? If they wanted to stay within the company, wasn't there someone with a technology background that could run the company? Just seems strange to me that they turned the company over to a "investment banker/business man" at a critical time like this. JMO Stock Bull
