So bunky you say that your disk drive is giving you problems?

Well it seems that my drive would not read a good disk to save it's
life.  A quick trip to the macdoctor, 60,000 I/Os later, and the drive
is pronounced fit for service.

In the interim, another drive buys the farm!!! What gives? Somthing in
the air maybe? 

Well I had to pick up the first drive anyway.  

I tell the tech my problems and with a twinkle in his eye he asks me
"which side of the Mac do you keep your drive on ?"

Well any true, red blooded hacker puts the drive on the left side,
right?

		WRONG!!!WRONG!!!WRONG!!!

It seems that the left side is where the power supply for the Mac is
kept.

So the mactech tells me that apple just came out with a blurb that
says the drives should NOT be put on either the left side or the
top (RFI).


Well to make a short story long, I put the drives on the right side and
PRESTO!!! no more problems. Will miracles never cease.

If any of you have had this problem lets hear from you.
