[...and this!]

Then too, there's the Disk That Wouldn't Die.  It's gray, and I think it
might have been a Sony. I used it some years back to store some data files
from a Mac that I used at school.  Then I stopped using it and it got
buried.  I mean really buried.  Maybe two years later I picked it up off
the floor from under a bench where it had been liberally coated with dust
and grime, and no doubt subjected to other abuse such as having things
piled on top of it.  Well, I once again had a use for some of the data
files, so I cleaned it up, popped it in the Mac, and it worked perfectly!
I hope my current boot disk is that reliable....
