Yesterday our group secretary received her new NeXTStation Turbo
(monochrome), and I am the designated setter-upper.  We got the Turbo
running fine as a standalone machine (after moving out the old PC-AT 
and a few shelves and re-arranging some cords and cables).  However, 
Rachel is one of those vertically challenged people (she's even shorter
than I am) and after an hour or so of playing with the machine, her neck
started getting tired with all that looking upward.  We had mounted
the monitor on top of the horizontal slab.

OK, we decided, easy to fix by moving the slab out from under the 
monitor.  But, the connector between the two is so short that we ended
up putting the slab on its right-hand side, standing up, with the
slot for the disk drive at the top.  Standing right behind the monitor
in the available space, leaning against the wall.  A fine solution to an 
ergonomic AND a real-estate-on-the-desk problem, I thought.  The disk drive
seems to work that way reasonably well (i.e., not noticeably differently).

Then my friend Paul wandered by and he said, "Gee, I'm not sure I'd leave
that thing standing up that way..."  He didn't explain why.

QUESTION: is there any good reason why we _shouldn't_ leave Rachel's
slab standing in its upright position?
