    that was great. trouble is, I know so few people who could appreciate the video.

    isn't that hitachi storage company the one that ibm help co-found so it could get out of the hard drive business?
    P.S. You've been Spanked!

      I didn't know if I should laugh or be frightened by that...

      Hitachi had a storage division, but they sold only enterprise and mainframe grade stuff. They bought out IBM's consumer and low-end server storage business to expand their line since IBM wanted out after the Deathstar fiasco.

        I love it whan a company has a sense of humor!

        Euhm, didn't Hitachi buy up the entire harddisk-division of IBM? The UltraStrar range (10K SCSI)) is now also part of Hitachi...

          SO wrong but funny at the same time. One of the best nods to School House Rock I've ever seen.

              No. IBM maintained their mainframe, super high-end and data-center style storage business.
