I always thought the leader would be Seagate, but they did nowhere near as much research and did not have the resources IBM did/does. So they were followers not leaders. But they made the first drives (under a different name) and I have always used them. But now I have had several IBM drives (back then). And always followed it. They held records in lineal write density and other aspects for years.

It is a very neat trick, but not yet commercially important.> Dr. Hobbs should let IBM know that Quantum Computers are fiction and they don't really work.Quantum computers aren't fiction, but so far they haven't gotten big enough to do anything useful. IBM isn't the only organisation interested. I've seen the quantum computer at the University of News South Wales, though we didn't get to talk to Michelle Simmons http://sqc.com.au/team/ There's no connection to IBM. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
