ZAP!-BBS IS DOWN ... THE MICRO-SCIENCE 20-MEG HARD-DRIVE HAS FAILED !
EARLY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT (THE 31ST OF JULY)... THE DRIVE BEGAN EMITTING 
STRANGE UNEARTHLY NOISES.  SOMETIMES IT WAS A MILD CHIRPING SOUND, AND AT
TIMES IT BECAME A LOUD CONSISTENT SQUEAL.  IT SEEMS THAT THE BEARINGS ON 
THE DRIVE HAVE GIVEN OUT UNDER ONLY 3-MONTHS OF CONTINIOUS USAGE.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO CHECK BACK IN WITH THIS SYSTEM TO SEE WHEN I COME BACK 
ON-LINE.  LEAVE A MESSAGE IF YOU WILL... BUT I WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO REPLY
BY PHONE... (I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE BEFORE COMPUTERS) SO IF IT
IS NECESSARY... PLEASE LEAVE A RETURN PHONE NUMBER AND TIME I SHOULD CALL.
