I just got a message from someone asking me how many times the HD in my NeXT has crashed, they're worried about performance and stability and all that. Oops. I didn't mean my NeXT HD had crashed--I was speaking in general. (Actually, it was a 2-yr old Rodime in a Mac II that I'd abused in various ways--altering System file without saving, etc etc). So "don't panic." I'm just being paranoid after a very nasty accident that happened once. And make that 2.1 in the above request. I want the latest. Cheers, Nik PS: Rodime made a good drive in that 140M internal.
