At a lab I once worked at, a Fuji 2284 (14") drive in the computer
room developed bad bearings and started screeching. We call
System Industries field service, they log into the disk control
unit remotely via a modem, check the error logs, and tell us
there's nothing wrong :-)
Nowadays at least you can have a machine running as a RealAudio
server and demonstrate. Or at least take an audio recording, like
dealing with a spouse who claims not to snore due to the ability
to sleep through it.
