" "Al Shugart, co-founder of the hard disk maker Seagate, has died at the  
" age of 76.
" 
" "His health deteriorated following open-heart surgery six weeks ago,  
" according to reports."
" 
" /me looks at his opened, retired 9.1 GB 10K Cheetah

ironically the cheetah has its roots outside seagate, with cdc's drive
operation spun off as mpi then bought by seagate.  hawks and
barracudas too.  i don't think it's still true but for a while they
had a high end group, effectively mpi within seagate.
