Well, back in my PC days (Yes, it was a sad time indeed :-) I wondered the same  
thing about my AT.  I was told that as long as the hard drive was formatted  
while it was vertical, everything would be fine.  Had something to do with  
gravity's effect on the drive heads.  I don't know if this is still true...

PS  Does the extra 2.5 inches make that much difference?  What about a higher  
chair or lower desk?
