This isn't really new news is it? Your right, it is my understanding that RDRT has been shipping 4.3 GB product to WDC and Samsung as well Maxtor for awhile now. Since it is apparently a slow news day, here goes........ MILPITAS, CA -- November 24, 1998 -- Read-Rite Corporation (NASDAQ: RDRT) has promoted Al Climent age 36, to vice president and general manager of its Maxtor business unit, according to Jim Murphy, senior vice president, customer business units. Climent joined Read-Rite in September 1992 as a strategic account manager and was promoted to general manager of the Micropolis business unit in November 1996. In 1997, he became general manager of the Maxtor business unit, "and was instrumental in establishing a very successful business partnership" with the hard disk drive maker, Murphy explained. Prior to joining Read-Rite, Al spent several years at Amdahl Corporation in a variety of management positions including engineering, manufacturing operations and marketing product planning. He holds a BS degree in Industrial Engineering from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, as well as an MBA from St. Mary's College in Moraga.
