A week or two ago, there were some postings complaining of an obnoxious noise being made by the 1040ST. Is this a problem with all 1040STs? Can it be corrected? I would appreciate hearing any new information.

I've had my 1040 for about 3 weeks now and I have yet to notice *any* obnoxious noises. I recall that people were complaining about the disk drive squealing; I think this would indicate a serious problem and that you should take it back to the dealer for repair and/or replacement. I can believe that the ST has a bit of a quality control problem, since my machine came with a bad monitor cable and a bad connection from one of the mouse buttons -- fortunately both problems were easily fixed. -Sandra Loosemore utah-cs!sandra, also known as decwrl!esunix!loosemor
