Give me a break. My vendor, along with every other business is going to support what is commercially successful for them. Give me a good reason why the should not?

No problem but that's another piece of equipment to maintain. Batteries etc. It should be no big deal to provide a large enough electrolytic to safely park the HD heads. Then again, I have learned that one cannot always assume sufficient smartness in new product designs these days.

You don't need a large UPS and it should last at least four years, unless you have a lot of power problems. I am using several used UPS at the moment. It was replaced under routine maintenence in a network of
1000 computers, and no one else wanted them, so I got about 25 small and mediaum sized APC units for hauling them off. They were three years old. I top off the batteries on the spares from time to time, and use them where ever they are needed.-- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85.

That does standard ATA drives.
If you want the new version that does SATA and does the transfer rate faster, look up the SC101T. The turbo model.
All modern drives' heads auto-park when power is removed from them.
The arches are in SOUTHERN KY, idiot. Nowhere near Ohio.
NONE of them are 1000' tall, as was claimed, by the C-LAMER.

I never said any such thing. Perhaps one of your lamey's clones did.

Looks just like you posting from the anonymous aioe.org account you used to use as MassiveProng to flood the groups.
Well, y'know, might've been faked, seeing as whoever did post got the giveaway "Retard/Idiot" dichotomy wrong:
I kept worrying, "Darn, that one only got 'Retard', which meant he liked it and thought I was playing along in stretching his thread...It was supposed to get an 'Idiot' tantrum because we were being 'mean' and weren't 'playing fair' in troll-outing his hopes at normal posts and encouraging group killfiles!--Was it too harmless?"

I guess so. Goodness only knows he makes implacable enemies everywhere he goes.
You kind of have to admire his sheer persistence in the face of universal contempt and condemnation.
Who but him would have thought to start abusing folk in a lottery discussion group of all places?
I don't know. There is little mileage in looking for a rational pattern in his ravings.
Some say it's entirely dependent on how much he has had to drink before any particular manic posting spree.
We don't see that anywhere in the thread except for YOUR post, so we'll assume that was an honest mistake and correct it.
(Otherwise, y'see, it might look like the traditional "Loopy cross-group" maneuver: Where every ritual x-troll thread has to insert one bafflingly non-sequitir "virgin" group out of nowhere in the hope of "corrupting" them--and rec.arts.marching-band is flat-out SICK of it by now--since the Usual Suspects are too used to it after all these years, and the traffic would die off too quickly with non-virgin respondents-- I mean, don't want to make either you or Prong look like we're
*deliberately* using lame 90's troll-shticks, now do we?) ;)No, from the "Adrenaline-troll one minute, enthusiastic post wanting to be loved and respected for his old-school geekery the next" mosquito-memory style, don't think there's any artificial stimulant directly involved: ADD victims don't *need* drink, they've already got their own perpetual buzz, 24/7--
Yes, we hear about the "national epidemic in our schools" on the news, but we never stop think about the LONGTERM damage it causes them, even on into "adulthood". :(

No Prongboi has "introduced" himself in alt.gambling.lottery and become the topic de jour.
I have added the group as a courtesy to his many new fans there who are curious as to his normal group wrecking stomping grounds
You may well be on to something here.
I'm not too sure of that.
Many critics of the Drug Companies and their hard sell have questioned the wisdom of long term drugging of schoolchildren as a "solution" rather than a problem.

Exclude some laptop drives from this. Some of these are designed to allow the heads to 'land' anywhere. However most modern full size drives, basically use 'voice coil' style actuators, with the head going back to a default position when power is not present. Not electronically 'parked', but simply automatically done, when power is not present to move the heads. Much simpler, and safer... :-)
