Oh, come on ... it wouldn't be a real Mac forum without 'em! But maybe they should go in their own special forum section: "Buy now or wait?"

I personally think that threads of people asking advice on whether to buy a PB or wait will always be there. Its just plain unfriendly if you just ban them (without at least provid…

I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not, but the solder they use to glue the bottom case together is coming apart on my computer. Do any of you know how to fix this?
