I have ear plugs in my ears as I type this.  The drive on my NeXTstation
has been sounding like brake pads on metal for many weeks, and it's driving
me nuts.  I'm about to have it serviced, except that I don't want to let
go of my machine long enough to do whatever it takes to fix it :-(  It's
a 400Mb drive, for what it's worth.
