I've heard a few different opinions about when to park a hard disk.  Some
say you should park the disk just before you turn off the machine every time
you turn it off.  I've also heard you don't need to park the heads unless
you're going to move the machine (this is the opinion I lean toward).
 
Is there anyone out there who is knowledgable about this burning issue????

Thanks--------{john}
