[Ti] Hard Drive Beeps

[John McGibney]

Use System Profiler to make sure all your memory is showing up. The Al-books
are starting to show a failure of one of the memory slots resulting in one
memory chip not showing up. This results in excessive HD use as many swap
files are created. Apple has a quiet recall on these affected machines. They
have to go back for surgery.

"Is this a bad idea? The folks at Sprint announced it is developing a TV
cell phone. It will let you watch TV on your cell phone. They have the
perfect name for it:
'Nine Dead in Interstate Pileup.'"
