Hmm, when I talked to the computer consultants here, they said that
if I was really daring I could take it out and drop it, and that
might unjam the drive.  It sort of seemed a bit radical for me....

If I twist the Mac, which way should I do it, clockwise or counterclockwise?

And also, is there any detrimental effects if I leave the computer on
all the time?

Thanks for the replies.
