another things strange with the shipping is hat is says its left the memphis depot at 3am today. I thought they didn't ship on the weekend?
 
You think you have problems just waiting for your MBP to arrive?

Well ...

You guys might be having problems waiting for shipping, but try this on for size.

I am waiting for an insurance settlement check, which has been approved by the courts, and was sent to this address last Monday. It has not arrived yet. To make things worse.......

I had ordered a WN511T WiFi card from SC Electronics, and they shipped it USPS Priority Mail, signature confirmation (supposed to be handed directly to me).

The thing has not arrived, but I got an email saying it was delivered and signed for. No one here at my home has seen it. I asked for a copy of the sig and they sent me a PDF picture of the scan and it is NOT my signature. The USPS local office is acting like they cant be bothered with knocking on the door to get signatures and are trying to talk down to me about it.

I am contacting a lawyer to suit them for forgery and I am going after them big time for punitive damages.

Previoulsy, before I moved here from Nashville, TN, I had sent my daughter a laptop and other items all boxed up, and coming to an appraised value of 5K. I shipped it FedEx, ground, signature verification. They left it on her porch and found an old electronic signature from several years ago, and claimed she signed for it. She called them, raising he!! about it, and they wound up admitting that they did not get her signature after she told them she had witnesses that it had not been signed for by anyone here.

Now I am worried about my settlement checks. I also have rebate checks that I am expecting totalling about 170.00 USD.

I have plans to buy a MBP 17" stock C2D if they ever get their act together here in Lakeland, Fla.

Now....tell me about waiting for a MBP just to ship LOL

If you live in Lakeland, do NOT order a Mac and have it shipped. Go to the store and get it.

I am looking for a really good attorney who can and is willing to hande a lawsuit of this nature. I want to really go after them big time and for not a measly amount. Are any of you who read here fearless and good lawyers? Or do any of you know any really good ones?

Hey, I ordered the same time and I'm also in Canada (Ottawa).. Shanghai -> Anchorage -> Memphis
 
I think its a crime that those who have theirs already aren't posting pictures and answering the important questions like latch alignment, heat & whine. I've only two sets of pictures thus far and i know others have gotten theirs. Its like that huh?
 
Matte vs. Glarey... oops I mean Glossy

Multimedia you have been a constant source of optimism and reliable information for me over the last 4 months, and now it's payback time.
The fact that has yet to be mentioned about glossy screens is that it is NOT the perception of reflection (I'm a poet) that causes eye fatigue. It is, however your eyes, automatically, will be constantly trying to focus on All dimensions of the image at the same time that will exhaust your eye focusing muscles and cause strain.

Hope this helps and thak you for your positive vibe and hand holding.:)

NEXT QUESTION: Faster access time, 7200 100g or 5400 160g???

That review is not applicable. It compares a 100GB 5400RPM drive with a 100GB 7200RPM drive, both LMR. The 160GB drive uses perpendicular recording which improves its performance dramatically.

I've heard this said several times on this forum, and I did pick the 160GB drive - but does anyone actually have PROOF that the 160GB drive is one of the ones with PMR?

Someone else asked this some ways back in this thread, and unless I missed it no one actually responded - so at the moment it's just an assumption that may be based on nothing (yet another wikiality I guess).

Here's your proof: 2 160GB 5400RPM laptop drives exist. One by Seagate, one by Hitachi. Both are PMR. Apple doesn't make their own hard drive, hence they use one of the aforemention. Hence, the Apple drive is PMR.

Edit: Western Digital and perhaps others also make 160GB drives, and those drives are also PMR.
