<<Odd tactic considering storys of faster then normal price erosion.>>
In my little price tracking world I see faster price erosion than I ever have... It's almost scary - across almost every capacity and every maker and they are not small. I see double digit+ % declines in just the last 2 weeks. SEG still seems to be leading the way, Maxtor is a close 2nd. If the tentative pricing schedule for the new QNTM 6.8 holds(which I haven't actually seen any yet)then more is to come.

What's so strange about that? Airlines try that all the time. But apparently, industry players are not ready to cry uncle yet.

If the oil patch has managed to restore supply demand equilibrium, there's hope yet that drives can do the same.
