Dead drive -- thanks for the helpful response

[Barton Brown]

For those who responded by asking "what are you talking about," to my 
request for help concerning my defunct SuperDrive, may I humbly suggest 
that if you'd read my original post, instead of the snippets people 
quoted, you might have divined that I was talking about the SuperDrive 
in my PowerBook G4 1GHz, a Matshita UJ-815 D0CB.

For those who responded about what a great deal AppleCare seems now 
that the horse is out of the barn door, allow me to say that in 13 
years of working with and on Macintosh products exclusively, I've never 
had a mechanical failure, except for a floppy drive that failed after 
five years. I hardly expected a Matsushita product to fail so 
spectacularly after 15 months of ownership and exceptional TLC.

Finally, thank you so much for your invaluable assistance.
