Well, I don't know about you guys, but if you install a hard disk
inside out, Apple clearly states you cannot "breathe or have sex"
in the same room.  Appearently, the heavy breathing laminates the
surface of the exposed platter and causes head crashes.

Has anyone confirmed this?  I always had my drive inside out and
mounted backwards and I only have had problems when I would 
have my mom or dad use my computer, they smoke.

Incidentally, a perfect way to clean the platter is to get a hoover
vacume cleaner and turn it on high and clean the platter this way.

Any better ways to clean or mount the disk inside out would be
really appreciated, send mail to:
