    Well, I'm going to watch the eBay market for a few days, see if I can get $1200 for it. Then I can buy an Inspiron 1420.

    Yay! A patch. Thank goodness, as this glitch was bugging the hell out of me.

    Maybe our emails helped. *laughs* No one ever replied to my inquiry that I sent to Steve's email.

    Haha, I bet those emails really did help. :) I bet they were like "Oh darn, we were planning to release this patch later, but I guess we can speed it up so that coyoteunknown doesn't plan on selling his mac".

    *laughs* Yush, I love my Mac again. But if it so much as glances at another bug I'll turn on it again like that! *snaps paws*

    Anyways, so far everything seems to be working out alright. :)

    Good to hear. The emails really do help with a speedier remedy because more people prove the problem exists, and more people can pinpoint when the error occurs.

    Now if only some of those people that threatened to sell their Macbook Pro because of it would come through and sell one cheap... I'll be sporting a new laptop soon.
