Barry,

Still tracking this down.  CompUSA says I have to have a letter from Apple
to avoid being charged the $100 service fee.  Apple's site says the only
way I can get my eMac serviced under warranty is to take it to an
AASP...the only one here is CompUSA.  I suspect the guy I spoke to at
CompUSA doesn't know what he's talking about.  Anyway, I'll probably take
it in and chance it...the whine is driving me crazy :)
