Yup, I heard about this LONG ago, I talked to somebody at Quantum that told me about it. This must have been a few months ago.

It seems like mergers and take-overs are the only way
PC based companies are going to survive these days.
With everything getting so cheap, it's hard to stay in
the game and make money.

Right now there's pressure on LG and Samsung to cut back
production on memory chips so the prices can go back up.

One less competitor, one less company making it cheaper. Course you didn't hear much about quantam anymore.... More IBM and Maxtor anymore...
