Interesting call from QNTM.

It sounds like the Desktop is miserable (at least the part of the Desktop in which QNTM operates).

The low-end PC ($600 & $800 PCs) growth is very strong (re: the U-4) ... and QNTM is not there.

The High-End is strong (obviously not bad for SEG).

Distribution channel pricing is very aggressive (could be influenced in part by SEG's new distribution strategy) ... down 16% pricing at the desktop ...

Very evasive and weird call.

To me, it sounds like QNTM is missing the sweetspot ... especially in the U-4 class of drives ... and the Atlas 10K is not substantial in the High-End.
