	We are trying to decide between two companies for a disk
	cleaning and inspection contract.  One company offers
	"shock watches" ( a warning device which tells you that a
	disk pack has been mishandled in such a way that its use
	can possible damage the heads of a drive ).  Our environment
	is such that only a few people (about 5 or 6) handle disk 
	packs.  The company that offers the "shock watches" quoted us a 
	price about 50% more than the competition.

	I would like to hear from other people who were in the situation.
	Are the "shock watches" worth the extra money considering the fact
	that the disks are in a "stable" environment?  All comments and
	suggestions are appreciated.
