I'll buy the argument that hard disks like to run, but do *PC's* like
to run as well? I'd like to keep my AT running all the time, but can
anyone tell me which if any other parts might go first? Is this an
issue with these machines? I sure would appreciate the input,
especially since my original CMI bit the dust not too long ago, and I
would like to maximize the life of the replacemnet drive (Seagate).
