Whenever I used my IBM XT comp. for more than a few hours it would start sounding like a motorcycle with a busted muffler. What I did was took out the power supply,opened it up, took out the fan, and thoroughly cleaned the dust off it. I should warn you though, on the cover of the power supply (at least on mine) there is a bright yellow sticker saying something like "Warranty (sp?) void if openned". For me it was worth the risk and I haven't had anymore problems since (it's been roughly 6 months). Also, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT UNPLUGGED BEFORE YOU DO THIS!! --------- good luck, Jeff -------------------------------------- Jeff Russo (jrusso@wpi.wpi.edu) Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester, MA 01609 -------------------------------------- "The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." -- Calvin

Quite the contrary, they recently introduced at least 4 relatively new models: the Mega STE, the TT, and this month, the ST Notebook and the ST Pad. >>The Amiga does not have any very powerful sequencer programs available for it. > >We Amigians do have a lot of powerful midisoftware. Dr.T's Software do support >and port most of their programs to the Amiga. Dr. T's is also on the ST, and it is about the third or fourth best package out there for it. KCS and Music-X remain the only serious Amiga sequencing packages, and neither can hold a candle to Notator or Cubase, in many people's opinion. This, of course, is not an inherent limitation of the Amiga - someone should be able to write a really powerful intergated sequencing / scoring package. Multitasking several programs is nice, but is no substitute for seamless integration of sequencing and notation.
