Brown: If you included all the folks associated with the Penang transition and shutting down the Colorado Springs plant, it was about 600.

Byte and Switch: Why is Colorado the tape mecca?

Nelson: It's because of the engineering talent that's been there, and the people there don't want to move. A couple years ago, our R&D was mostly in Shrewsbury, Mass., with just a small group in Boulder. We looked at all the talent in Boulder, and we said, we're in better shape having our design site in Boulder to take advantage of the fact that it is the tape mecca.
