I took the whole thing apart again and pounded the dent out. Now sleep mode doesn't freeze and the airport card works again. (I took care to keep the antenna from being peirced whe…

Don't hate your friend or cast the blame on the aluminum; that is so lame. This is in the same category as the risk you run by having open containers of drinks next to your laptop…

I'm pretty picky when it comes to the looks of my Apple hardware. If my G5, display, or Powerbook ever get a ding, dent, or scratch... they are gone. Seriously, I'd have to repla…
