I've been reading in this group about keeping the power up on the Amiga 
at ALL times and understand about preventing stress on the circuits.
I've tried it and have a few questions.  The disk drives appear to be
checking for a disk every few seconds (a 'click').  Is this causing any
undo wear and tear?  

A friend suggested leaving a disk in each drive at all times.  Does the
disk cycle down if there's no access to it?  Any harm to the disk?

Thanks for the help.  I'm hoping to keep my A1000 for along time and would
appreciate any suggestions on increasing it's life.
