[mdlug] Hard drives

[Raymond McLaughlin]

I never heard of Jupiter brand Hard drives before you pointed this out. 
A little googling found that they are produced by ExcelStor, apparently 
a new Chinese manufacturer <http://www.excelstor.com/en/index.asp>:

   ExcelStor Technology Ltd is a Hard Disk Drive Company found in the
   year of 2001. She manufactures her own hard disk drives in Shenzhen,
   China. She owns the state-of-art Clean room, Testing and Production
   facilities. The factory is managed by a team of professionals with
   at least a decade of disk drive manufacturing experience from USA,
   Singapore, Malaysia, etc. The factory is running with an objective
   of manufacturing excellence at all level of staff with uncompromising
   emphasis on quality performance. The factory has also a dedicated
   team of Continuation Engineering expertise who are focusing on
   continuous improvement of product performance, reliability and
   quality.

I wonder if calling the company "she" if purely a translation error, of 
if they are trying to appeal to the mostly male mind share in the tech 
market. :)
