Well, I have one of the last 512KE's to roll out of Apple, and the same thing
has been happening to me lately.  However, I don't have a hard-drive; I just
have a Racal-Vadic 2400V modem on top, an APPLE external 800K next to it, and
no fan.  It sits by itself on an otherwise open desk.  The room is also not
very dusty -- just your average apartment dust!

Any techies have any ideas?

Thanks in advance (and all that other garbage)...
