Z, From RDRT's earnings release: <<The company expects the challenging industry environment will continue for the balance of fiscal 1999, especially within the desktop segment, as significant pricing pressures and the trend for fewer heads per drive are expected to continue.>> To what extent do you think will this have an impact on HTCH?

Z Analyzer and others, would you share your opinion as to the future demand for disk drives and thus the TSA over the next few years. I was having a discussion at a family gathering and one person felt computers as we know them are on the way out and the internet will decrease demand for disk drives because of direct access and people storing data on the internet etc. I realized I do not understand the direction technology is taking and would appreciate opinions on what would drive demand for or a decrease of disk drives. Thank you. jf
