A friend of mine bought a stand to keep her CompuAdd 386 on its
side, thereby saving desk space.  When the CompuAdd service person
saw it, however, he said that it made him uneasy to see that.  He
recommended that she keep the computer flat on her desk.

Who is right?  Will disk drives malfunction when turned on their side?
Does heat fail to disperse?  Etc?

Any help would be appreciated.
