I recently bought a Macintosh SE with internal harddisk, after waiting
too long for usable wordprocessors for the Atari ST (still very much
vaporware). The machine works like a (wet?) dream and I process words
like I never processed words before :) The machine is very easy to
use, for  the Finder resembles Gem a lot ;-)

But I have a question concerning the harddisk: when I want to move
the machine, do I need some sort of SHIP program to park the drive-heads
on a least-destructive spot? Or do they lock into place automatically
when I use the new 'shutdown' option in the latest Finder?
