It appears that Quantegy's warehouse is open, shipping product. They are
reorganizing, and apparently have NOT filed for court bankruptcy or
reorganization protection.

Also, it appears that at least one vendor in the U.S. is looking to make
1/2, 1, and 2-inch mastering tape independent of Quantegy. Who knows if
this will come to pass.
