OK: What I do is this. It works with all Macintosh computers right up to and including the DV SE iMacs, but I recall that it was ESPECIALLY effective with my old Sonnet-powered 6500: I leave the computer on. I move the keyboard aside and place a towel on the desk in front of the monitor. On the towel I place a claw-hammer, bread-knife, a couple of pairs of rusty pliers and a broken hacksaw blade. I wait ten or fifteen minutes and then I say loudly in front of the computer, "I don't know f***-all about how this son of a b***** is put together but if it keeps on making that whining noise I'm going to tear the rotten f***** apart and find out". Then walk around the room scowling with a small crow-bar or bent screwdriver in your hand (the bigger the better)for a few minutes and shut the computer off. The next time you start up you will have a quieter, more co-operative Macintosh. Works for me !! Wazoo PS: If the 6500 still has the original HD in it.....TOSS IT NOW before it croaks. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
