*wince* - poor hard drives. ;-) When I were a lad I used to service what were then high end systems with 10 MB drives whose platters were about 18" in diameter and which cost a good few thousand pounds. We actually used to take the platters out and lovingly clean them, then replace them in the drive and run alignment tests etc. Nowadays the youngsters drill holes in their unloved old drives, just for kicks.
