Re: [Finale] OT: MacOS 9 help needed

[David H. Bailey]

Speaking from the PC world, I don't view drives as consumables with 
short shelf lives, either.  I have an old Packard-Bell Pentium (yes the 
original) which is about 8 years old (or however old the Pentium chip 
is) and it has the original drives I put in to replace the original 
small drive, and they still work just fine.  But I do need to say that I 
have never (knock on wood) had an ATA drive "crumble" at all, let alone 
every 10-12 months.

I never keep daily-use drives more that 10-12 months anyway -- always 
upgrading to bigger and faster ones. :)


Astounding what PC users perceive as normal--I'm using a 10 year old Mac 
with the original SCSI drive for my print server. And still have two 
other old SCSI drives that still work fine. Granted, we're not talkin' 
120 Gigs here, but I certainly don't have the concept that drives are 
consumables with a short shelf life.
