About two weeks ago I posted an an article requesting advice on a high-
pitched "whine" my 512Ke mac was emitting.  I suspected the culprit was
the flyback transformer.  As of this date, I've added a (Kensington)
fan which has stopped the noise.  I also have the computer in an air-
conditioned room now, which is better than some of the 80+ degree days
it was being subjected to before.

The bbs has been running continuously on my mac for the last 96 hours 
and there is no hint of trouble yet.  As a subjective opinion, though, the
upper left-hand side of the case feels warmer to the touch than similar 
fan-equipped macs at work.

Thanks to everyone on the net who responded with suggestions and war 
stories.  If my analog board flames out, I will post...

BTW, the bulletin board, known as "The CallBoard", exists for the purpose of
exchanging information on employment opportunities and other topics of 
interest in the Performing Arts.  There is no charge for using the system.
If you know of anyone interested, please contact me at the address below.
