diddledanI still remember having to park my hard disk heads before poweroff21:08
zmoylan-pia few of my early hd based desktops were same way... but i'm trying to remember if any of the laptops i used had same requirement21:10
zmoylan-piof all the laptops back then, this was my favourite. 1) it had a slide out handle to make carrying easier 2) it had a 16bit isa slot for expansion 3) built in power supply so you didn't need to carry extra brick http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/31788/Amstrad-ALT-386SX-Laptop-computer/21:18
