       If you have ever lived in a dorm you know what it's like to have

very little desk space,  so I believe I can answer your question very

easily.  No, it does not hurt the drive and/or the disks, _but_ make sure

that you keep it close to a wall (or any thing stable) so that it does

not wobble when you insert, and extract disks.  Although my drive has

never tipped over, I don't imagine it would help the alignment very much.
