Not to worry

They still manufacture the magic-wand.

Western Digital agreed to acquire Hitachi Ltd.'s hard-disk-drive business for about $4.3 billion in cash and stock, the companies said Monday, in a deal that would create a dominant player in the segment with a nearly 50% market share.


It always amuses me to no end just how much Hitachi manufactures...of course, it is also a bit depressing, yet still amusing.

Why, Atta, you are such a considerate person to note the Hitachi wand. There's this friend of a friend of a friend, and she calls hers Big Blue because of the blue markings on it.

the article you quote indicates Hitachi must be downsizing its industry and upsizing its bank accounts.
