When my Unix PC makes noise from the hard disk, you can lift the bottom, 
left-side of the screen and the noise will either stop or at least be 
reduced.  It seems that the weight of the screen applies pressure on top 
of the hard disk.  Unless others have a different reason, I, for one who 
is bothered by the amount of noise the Unix PC generates, am not thrilled
by AT&T's ``lack of support'' for their terminal screen on top of the
rest of the system.  What is one supposed to do?  Be a one-arm programmer?
(<-:).

P.S.  Does anyone know why the Unix PC wasn't built with its screen separated 
from the CPU and hard disk.  Some may say for bit-mapped graphics or higher 
speed, but look at the NGEN made by Convergent Technologies (the makers of 
the Unix PC).  The NGEN separates its bit-mapped screen, keyboard, CPU, hard 
disk, and power supply into separate components that connect together.
Hardware wise, I think it is designed better than the Unix PC.
