Points to them for inventing Winchester technology. That said, their
so-called fix for the Deathstar drives didn't work. I got hold of one
early, lightly used and long before its first click of death. I applied

clicking away, and though we managed to salvage a little data, most of it
went the way of the Deathstar.
