There was mention of a buyout of Quantum by Maxtor, funny just when Quantum
was making a good reliable drive.  Does this mean that Maxtor will use the
Quantum technology on making good reliable drives and market them as Maxtor
drives.  Not sure if I trust that possible situation.  Guess I'll stick to
Western Digital.

I thought Maxtor bought Quantum?  I'm using a new maxtor 7200rpm 15GB
drive *looks worried*
