So many Mac problems this week
Man, Apple-land is not my friend right now.
Had to replace the battery in my MacBook Pro 15" because it wouldn't charge, and would randomly shut down. Microsoft Word just disappeared right in the middle of working on a document. No crash report, nothing. Couldn't connect to the WiFi at the airport, while someone with Windows XP next to me hopped right on. iDisk is reporting that it's almost full, but it isn't. Apple Mail suddenly forgot all of its UI settings, so I had to re-configure all my columns again. PowerBook 12 at home running 10.5 stopped responding to keyboard. Wife's MacBook Pro has Safari crash about 7 times a day. Can't access my iDisk from PowerBook 12, get a some error number. Parallels had problems with the network. Closed the lid on the MBP and set it on the seat next to me on the plane. Picked it up and it had turned itself off. Lost work. PowerPoint wouldn't present properly earlier this week, crashed every time I put it into presentation mode. iDisk sync gave spurious error messages to Ilana. HP printer installer appears every time I boot, can't get rid of it (and it's not in my startup items).
"It just works"?
Bullsh-t.

That sucks Bill, sorry to hear about all that. Things have been pretty quiet for my MBP after installing Leopard. One *really* annoying thing that does happen (randomly, I might add) is that, if my external Time Machine drive is plugged in via USB and the machine hibernates (or sleeps or whatever) sometimes it'll wake up, sometimes it won't. It's a crap-shoot. Error log indicates something USB-related, but searches online turn up nothing. Other than that been fairly smooth. I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
