[wplug] noisy laptop

[Mark Dalrymple]

> that my laptop (Acer Travelmate 602TER) is become more and more noisy.

Is it an IBM drive?  They tend to get noisier as they get older.
I had an IBM drive in my Powerbook that got painfully loud after
awhile.  I replaced it with a Fujitsu and it became nice and quiet
again.
