I've been trying to get my disk to spin down on my laptop. I haven't
totally accomplished this yet. Usually when I start the thing up I
see my disk light come on every 5 seconds or so. I just started 
shutting things down to see if I could stop this. It turns out that
apache was the culprit. Why do I need apache on my laptop? Why do
some car owners think they need nitrous and a super-charger in their
Pinto?
