I have a Mac IIcx in my office, about 1.5 years old.
In the next office, there is a NeXT, less than 2 months old.
This morning, there was a 5-minute surprise power outage.  When the
power came back on, I restarted my Mac, and it took 30 seconds longer
than usual to startup, while it scanned the 80 meg disk.  The
NeXT is not running, 7 hours later; two guys are still working
on it.
