Actually...I worked for both Digital Equipment Corporation and Conner Peripherals building HDDs and both had clear drive lids that we'd use in R&D and Failure Analysis. Maybe if you sweet-talk the manufacturer they could sell you one?
I worked in the manufacturing end of technology for 13 years - building hard disk drives and then semiconductors - after those jobs dried up and went overseas I went back to school for my associates in computer information systems; worked hard and maintained a 4.0 average. After finishing, in 2003, I have yet to find work in the IT field. I fully expected to come in at the bottom - doing anything a company would let me do, just to break into a field. I also fully expected to continue my education - I just hoped that I'd be able to work in the field while doing so.
Now, I'm not so sure if getting a bachelor's in this field is still the "smart" thing to do - or if I should consider some other field altogether.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that's actually been able to get a job within the last couple of years with an AS or AAS degree and find out what their secret was.

You also forgot--- 1994: Quantum buys Digital Equipment Corporation's StorageWorks (HDD and tape drives)
