It's also a not so subtle warning to get another drive (not
Seagate!!) and transfer your data to it.  On my 4051 the
stiction got worse and worse until one fine day...

P.S.: If Seagate doesn't like to read this sort of thing, they
can send me an drive to replace the dead 4051.  Frankly I don't
expect Seagate to stand behind 4051's any more than IBM stood
behind that infernal 20 MB disk drive on the PC/AT.
