I've had a number of other heat-related failures on the machines as well, which has me quite happy that I make a habit of forking over the cash for AppleCare and ProCare. Even then, the MTBF on the machines is better than any Del or HP laptop that has crossed my desk. I eventually got the hint and picked up a new eight-core MacPro for doing real work and use the MBPs for less taxing tasks. -- Chris Kennedy chris at mainecoon.com AF6AP http://www.mainecoon.com PGP KeyID 108DAB97 PGP fingerprint: 4E99 10B6 7253 B048 6685 6CBC 55E1 20A3 108D AB97 "Mr. McKittrick, after careful consideration..."
