Thumb Down

So why is it faster to save money by closing the U.S. plants? Or is this just an excuse to keep open fabs that don't have safety or environmental regulations.?

Still no word on the VP's to be gone by May 5.

Seagate catching up with WDC on product isn't the same as catching up on cost to manufacture. Don't look for much EPS any time soon.
