Yeah good!!

Insurance claim will look good, how did damage occure? cross one:

water damage []

1180924 2011-02-25 11:09:00 True, but it's *going* to happen to a certain degree. That's why the head gets parked when they're powered off.

Generally speaking, unless the building fell down on top of a HDD, having them rattle around a bit, and even fall off a shelf, they're still likely to be just fine.
