- Well, good luck. I hope you don't suffer from the hard disk problem... it
- seems a number of PowerBooks had dodgy hard drive mechanisms fitted.
- Symptoms include periodic whining and buzzing noises whenever the drive is
- spinning (even if it's not doing anything). My PB100's hard drive had to be
- replaced. The engineer said they'd had several in with the same problem.
-
- The machine arrived this morning, and seems fine.
-
- For the money I saved over the UK price, I could always buy a replacement
- hard disk anyway. :-)

- Nick.
