Post #50,768 by Andrew Grygus 9/6/02 2:48:18 AM Reply	Yes, IBM is dumping hard disks Their hard disk business is going to a "joint venture" with Hitachi, but the implication was that IBM was not the major partner. The stated reason is profitability, but I've also read about some stuff in IBM's labs that could obsolete hard disks. Perhaps it's a little farther along than recent articles have indicated.
