- I don't know! But mine is AWFULLY noisy, too. It has me worried. I
- have already exhanged my unit once (the battery was weak and the
- display was not bright enough; it's MUCH better now!), and I'd rather
- not have to do that again.
- And I'd hate to wait a week or more while it is in the shop
- getting the disk swapped in a 15 minute operation. But I am thinking
- about it. Who makes the 20 meg drives in the PB100 anyway??
