Sorry about your losses. Now it is our loss that you are out Dennis, you were a big asset here - but you will make it back. May think about it upon a serious GMR announcement or a visit into the high $4's or low $5's. My thoughts exactly. I will also be paying particular attention at the CC when their banking relationships are discussed. This could also be a reason for the delay in the CC - to negotiate with the bank (normally banks want financial statements before they make commitment) and i imagine the ramp up of GMR will take some working capital.

Dennis, sorry to see you leave. I enjoyed your contributions to the board. I have a question for you or anyone else for that matter. I also have a significant loss in RDRT and am contemplating selling for the tax loss and then purchasing one of the other disk drive makers so that I can catch any runup in this oversold group in the future. My question is which company in this industry is best positioned. I thought RDRT was a good turnaround bet but obviously I was way to early.

>I'd like to thank RDRT's Investor Relations department for not returning my calls. The information I did not get was very helpful in determining to leave this stock. Keep treating shareholders that way and maybe Cyril will be the only one holding any stock. Don't mean to kick you when you're down, but you're in denial. If you want to know who made the wrong decision in purchasing this stock, look in the mirror. You have been warned repeatedly about RDRT's punk financial and competitive situation. You're kidding yourself if you pretend now you didn't enter into this position eyes wide open. We've all been there, dude. But try to learn something from the experience rather than flail about looking for someone to blame.
