Fujitsu has sold its desktop HDD business to WD. I'm not sure about Hitachi for desktop drives yet (although they're great in the enterprise arena) -- I would like to wait and see how this 'joint venture' with IBM pans out. > But not Samsung. ;) Form what I've seen, they're focused on the 'budget' market (OEMs, etc.). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "I'm not a big believer in revolutions. What people call revolutions in technology were more of a shift in perception - from big machines to PC's (the _technology_ just evolved, fairly slowly at that), and from PC's to the internet. The next "revolution" is going to be the same thing - not about the technology itself being revolutionary, but a shift in how you look at it and how you use it." -- Linus Torvalds
