As a little bit of a tangent, I remember that older hard drives
sometimes had problems if they were initially formatted horizontally
and then used vertically for long periods of time. I'm not sure if
that's an issue anymore with the drives found in the G3/G4 Macs.
We've got some G3/G4 servers here, but they're all sitting upright at
the moment. It might be nice to rackmount them at some point as well.
