Suddenly the slot-loading combo drive on my 12" Albook (2.4 years old,
1GHz) is putting some sticky stuff onto the under- (playing-) side of
the CDs, which seems impossible to clean off (won't dissolve in rubbing
alcohol). Disk insertion has become difficult & sometimes fails, ...

I am on my second MacBook Pro 15".
It does exhibit CPU whine, a hiss mainly on the left but also the right
