	I've got to agree here. Besides, the apple disk is noisy and
(maybe because of the noise) seems to be slower.  On my home system I
got an internal 30M drive and at work we have used 40M external drives
only because we had no choice in buying the apple hard disk.  The external
disk was so much nicer that I don't use the apple disk for anything right
now.  Maybe I'll load it up with tech notes or something.

Boththird party disks came from Optima and I've been real satisfied as a
customer with them.
