Parking the drive is a good idea if you plan to move it around becasue I
think it helps prevent dammage to the the drive when transported. I don't
know that it'd make a difference if the computer is just moving around the
house or something though. My solution would be to make a DOS boot disk
with park on it, stick the disk in drive A, and re-boot and run park just
before shutting the power off.
