Sean, I have the same thing with my Agilis 61s.  Seems worse on colder (for
Georgia) days that it does when weather is warmer.  Also, I wasn't impressed
with the performance in the snow (yes we had enough snow in Middle GA in
early January to make it a problem).  Otherwise, I haven't had any problems.
