Abstract
I was considering buying a new desktop computer, and I thought I had found the ideal model. That is, until I noticed that one little thing was missing??the activity light for the hard drive. The manufacturer probably saved a few cents by leaving it out, but that little light was of some psychological importance to me. How could I possibly buy a computer that was just going to sit there and not give me any indication that it was working?
