>Maybe, God willing, GMR will fall flat on its face. Technological discovery of more methods to push the limits of the magnetic effect will cease and we will need to stuff our desktops with 10 platter 40 head hot running high margin monsters that dim the lights when you boot up. <dripping sarcasm> There is a glimmer of hope. 99 could shape up to be the 7200 rpm transition year, in addition to the year of GMR. I don't believe they'll all execute a flawless transition. Also, maybe that IDE/SCSI convergence will finally happen on those 7200 rpm GMR drives.
