Hi all.

I've been forced to live in the Windows World for a while but now I want to switch back to the good side.

Umm. yeah.

It's not that I don't know what normal seeking sounds like.

Hmm.

Sure I liked the 1Ghz PB but if I got a replacement unit, I can't be sure whether I get another "loud" one again.

There are so many people complaining that I am almost afraid that it is...

Sorry, I was referring to ALL 867 and 1Ghz Powerbooks. Although I could even be wrong with that. But from what I've read so far, this seems to be the case (when plugged in)
