I was catching up my buddy Rich’s blog at http://www.goitsolutions.com/ when I read a post about Al Shugart passing away.

For those of you that don’t know, Al Shugart was a pioneer in the development of the harddrive as well as founder of Seagate. I think Rich put it best when he said “without his contributions many of us would not have 10 thousand songs attached to our hip”.

Rich also offers up this link to a speech given by Ron titled: “Half a Century of Disk Drives and Philosophy: From IBM to Seagate“.

Here’s an article on converting VMware VMDK to VHD formats. Not sure why you’d want to, but if you do here’s an article about it.
