>NICE FIX, HUH?

Nice fix indeed, considering the consequences of not having the fix.
I can't explain why you're having the access slowdown problems, but
as I was explained it, the "ramdom seeking" only happens when the
read/write head senses degraded seek time based on the viscosity
of the internal lubricant.  Otherwise, it should operate normally.

And Apple corporate may not tell us everything, but I haven't heard
of situtations in which they've lied to us.  To do that would be
a great breach of trust to us.  Apple is not an ordinary company
when it comes to sensitive information, and Apple employees aren't
typical either.
