As a rule the CD drive will spin up every few minutes to check for a CD. Just the nature of the beast. either use the PB without the CD drive or leave the door open on the CD when you don't need to use a CD. The drive may be going and drawing a large amount of juice to spin up. John -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
