Notes:

- Your treasurers were very remiss in August and September, so no reminders 
were sent, and not much else done besides.  We are very sorry.  Hopefully 
things will be back on track now.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in August and September anyway:

bookie, charcat, gorg, khamsun, stevem, and witling.  Thanks!

I finally got around to spending the hour it took to navigate Seagate's
RMA system, so I could send back the disk that failed last spring.  I
mailed it this morning.  It's under warranty, so we should receive a
replacement.

Grex received its replacement disk on Monday.  It's in my living room now.
It looks brand new to me, but I don't know how to tell whether a disk has
been rebuilt.

 > I don't know how to tell whether a disk has been rebuilt.

Is there a manufacture date on it?

I can't find one, but now that I examine the label, I see that it says
"Seagate certified repaired HDD".  So I suppose I answered my own question.
You can look at a scan of the label here:
