Horrors, does pulling a disk out of an Amiga while the drive is on really
kill it?  I've never seen a computer that did that, of course with the
exception of a Mac, which won't even give the damn things back when you want
them some times. (A friend once got a disk stuck in a Mac and got angry and
pulled the entire machine apart to get it out.  Luckily he was an
engineering/CS whiz and could put it back together.)
