Seagate to Purchase Maxtor

[Julian Wolfe]

Actually, I've been a Seagate man myself ever since I bought my first hard
disk.  In fact, I don't own anything without a Seagate in it, even my
PDP-11.

One of the few companies that simply continues to be better than the rest.

I'll continue to tip my hat to IBM/Hitachi drives though, those are pretty
solid too in my experiences with them.

Long live not-crap.
