<<It seems odd to me that QNTM wouldn't just give them the $20 million, and increase their ownership a little. Any speculation on that?>> The conclusion is obvious when you aren't influenced by share ownership. By the way, anyone else short E-Bay in anticipation of the insider lockup ending tomorrow potentially freeing something like seven times the current float. Will be either ZGenius or ZFool tomorrow.

Sam, I don't know why QNTM is just toe-dipping with TeraStor. Purely a WAG is that Jim McCoy, Chrmn and CEO of TeraStor, is a very savvy guy who would not give away much. (McCoy was a co-founder of QNTM and the founder of Maxtor.) Clearly Seagate has taken a lot more pro active position in a similar technology with Quinta. Incidentally, Steve Kitrosser, CEO of Quinta, was McCoy's hand picked, founding manufacturing chief (VP) when he started Maxtor. Now they are squaring off in the market. Best, Stitch
