[Cialug] Seagate Technology Completes Acquisition of Maxtor Corporation (fwd)

Wed May 24 20:51:11 CDT 2006

The marketingspeak is fast and furious. Here is your daily dose of 
synergy. If they buy Western Digital we can look forward to 600 gig hard 
drives for $19 that last until you get them home...

                                     Hi Dave!

MAXTOR HAS EXCITING NEWS!

[stx_acquires_med_IE.gif] The acquisition of Maxtor is final and we
expect the combined company to generate significant synergies through an
expanded product portfolio, partner program enhancements, and attractive
business propositions. We believe that the shared business practices will
further enable our partners to expand their market reach and operational
functionality.

Both SPP and MaxtorVIP members should expect all products, programs,
terms and conditions to be consistent and available at least through the
end of the first quarter in September.

We will send out periodic updates via our SPP newsletter on the status of
the integration of Maxtor into Seagate and keep our partner web site
updated with any new developments. You can always find the latest
information by visiting the Seagate Partner Program (SPP) site at
https://spp.seagate.com and refer to the FAQs.

We appreciate your loyalty to Seagate and we welcome the MaxtorVIP
members into our SPP community.

Maxtor VIP Team
