- Just thought I'd add my 2 atom's worth. I've had my SE/30 for a little over
- a year now and I haven't had a hardware problem yet (I have had ton's of
- software problems, but that's due to my incessant 'Crash Field' I project).
- I've popped in SIMMs, changed the hard drive, added a Micron Xceed 30-8, and
- consequently brushed that card on the back of the monitor several times. I've
- also tossed it around planes, car trunks, etc. No problems.
-
- I do have one complaint about Apple hardware. I've found that about half of
- the FDHDs out there have problems. Often you'll save a file to a disk, take
- it to another computer, and the computer will say 'This disk is not formatted
- for Macintosh. Do you wish to initialize." Then you take it back to the
- original computer and it works fine. Has anyone else had this problem? I
- consider myself lucky to have gotten one of the good drives, but many of the
- computers I've worked on have finicky drives.

- Do you find the second monitor to be useful? People ask me why I have two
- monitors and I tell them that it's very handy. For example, you can write
- replies to a post on one screen, while seeing the post on the other. I use
- the 9" to stick palettes on when I'm working on graphics (like Freehand, which
- has about ten million of them). Does anyone have any interesting uses for the
- second monitor?
