I bought an LCIII at a thrift store (first Mac I owned myself) that ran fine for years on a 160 meg drive... that I had to knock on to get it to spin up. Yes, I actually had to pop the top and knock on the drive for it to spin up. Otherwise it just ticked ;) It did finally die, but it lasted for a couple or three years. I made sure not to keep anything critical on it :) Scott Holder -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
