Hey guys, over the last week I have noticed a few things about my SR MBP:

First off, I get terrible wireless internet signal. I'm a college student and whenever I am on campus, particularly in a lecture hall I can't get signal in, I notice that all the other computers consistently get about a 60-70% signal, whereas I can't get anything. I have observed this day after day and I have come to think that my Airport card may be faulty, or that MBPs get ****** wireless signal. I would hope it's not the latter, as I think I should be able to get signal (AYBABTU reference) with a more expensive computer...haha...any ideas?

Also, within the last day, my MBP won't wake from sleep. The screen turns off with the lid open, and the light on the lid button stops pulsating and just stays on, but dim. Then, when I try to wake the computer by clicking or typing it doesn't respond. Then, when I try to press the power button, it doesn't respond. If I close the lid and open it back up, it doesn't respond except that the lid button light starts to pulsate. I can't figure out what's going on there, and I have to reset my computer (hold the power button) to get it out of sleep... Any ideas here?

Thanks for your help.
