   Just one more question.  What do you mean by non-OEM?  It didn't come
   with the listed harddrive?

Correct.  I purchased and installed the hard drive after I bought the
laptop.

Anyway, here's my smartctl output.  My laptop was mostly fairly idle
during these 2 10-minute periods, although I was doing a few things
(an OOo document, for example).  It's a bit more than twice a minute:

# while true ; do smartctl -a /dev/sda |grep 193; sleep 600; done
193 Load_Cycle_Count        0x0012   093   093   000    Old_age   Always       -       72102
