It's a warning. Like this one. Just change "Mike" to "krit."
Just Kidding!
T.E.C. is "Threshold Exceeded Condition" and basically it means a disk failure. When your Drive Health software reports a "Nearest T.E.C." you should consider it as a "Failure date."
From drivehealth.com.
The seek time of a hard disk measures the amount of time required for the read/write heads to move between tracks over the surfaces of the platters.

Hope this helps 'till Dj is around .

Thank you. That does help some. But I'm thinking that HD Tune isn't very accurate because it just changed it's mind. 
Oh well! I suppose that my HDD will be okay until this summer when I replace everything. Goin' for the x64 finally.

Sorry. One more translation. I've been avoiding learning about this stuff for awhile now, but I need to start learning now. Thanks again.

The program receives all data from the hard drive, so it's your hard drive that is changing its mind. A TEC date is listed because the drive thinks that's when it's going to fail completely. Now I realize what SMARTass is missing.... and I don't think I will be putting it in DAF just yet.
Also, this is why the SMART command failed. Backup your data now, see a local technician, and ghost your drive's data to a new one; it's going to die. TEC dates are pretty unreliable, so you'd better take no chances.

Word up.
Okay, well I've already backed up my computer twice this week, just to be safe. But why should I see a technician if I'm just going to replace my HDD? Or are you telling me to see a technician to replace my HDD for me?

Well, if you are getting a new machine and/or hard drive, and you're familiar with setting everything up, no big deal. But if you were going to keep this machine, you'd want to ghost the contents of this drive over to a new drive so you wouldn't have to reinstall everything.
