****** NEWS FLASH ! ******

Congratulate me!  I have just been initiated into a not-so-exclusive club!
Yup, yesterday my Seagate drive STUCK on me for the first time.

I took my machine see a friend (after parking it of course) and when I powered
up... nothing!  It took ten minutes of diddling with the stepper motor to get
it to come and stay up, upon which I checked it out and reparked it for the
return trip.  When I got it home... the same story.

Guess what?  I've used the drive for 15 months!  Gee, don't you think it's a
little suspicious that these drives fail after the warranty is over?

At least I have a non-autoparking controller.
