maximum Maytag mode: n. What a washing machine or, by
extension, any disk drive is in when it's being used so heavily that
it's shaking like an old Maytag with an unbalanced load. If
prolonged for any length of time, can lead to disks becoming
walking drives. In 1999 it's been some years since hard disks
were large enough to do this, but the same phenomenon has recently
been reported with 24X CD-ROM drives.
