Our dormitory owns and operates its own computer lab. We have 5 Mac SE
with 1 Meg memory, 2 disk drives & no hard disks. The SEs are very popular
for word-processing, they are in constant use almost 24 hrs a day. Because
of this they tend to breakdown often. Usually the disk drives go first,
but I've also seen power supplies die, motherboards, etc.
Anybody have suggestions on preventive maintenance that might reduce
the number of breakdowns? Such things as leaving the computers on all
day (They frequently get turned off only to be turned back on 2 minutes
later), cleaning disk drives, etc...
Please e-mail me, I will post a summary of responses I receive.
