   Since there has been a rash of hard disk faileurs in the recent past,
 I have a question that must be addressed before I discide to buy a brand new
 Mac IIci (if I can afford it  :-).. (drool of antisipation) if not a IIcx)
 and put my Tired Old Mac Plus to pasture...

   Aside from the aspect of Apples Hard Disks are TOO expansive (I 
 do not want to worry about the cost yet) are they more or less reliable
 than the 3rd party Disk makers.

   In other words...

   If I am going to by a IIc[ix], should I get it with a Apple HD (~40meg)
 or should I get it w/o Apple HD and buy a 3rd party internal HD.
 I do not want money to be an issue here, I just want to know what is
 the most reliable.  I have heard it said that the HD is one of the most
 important accessories to the computer, and I want to get a good one.

  Thanks
     Mike
