Dale, Thanks for your insightful comments regarding the whole "mix" in this removable capacity point. The comments made by others that Castelwood's market emphasis is reported to lean towards the OEM versus retail bears out what I've heard. Castelwood's argument was that at their capacity of 2.1 GB and a price (retail of $199 but not sure what the OEM price would be), that OEMs could replace the HDD with their removable, offering an interesting twist to the sub $1000 PCs; providing expandable capacity when needed, albeit, removable. Or would the cost penalty between a sub $100 OEM disk drive and Castelwood's higher (I assume) OEM price rule out that argument? Regards LT
