Macbook Pro Unibody Arrived…. Already going back….

So my new Macbook Pro arrived and I noticed something I hadn’t seen since one of my 15″ Powerbooks…. bizarre screen flicker at low brightness levels. So it’s going back to Amazon pronto….. hopefully the next one doesn’t have the same issue. If it does I’ll just return it and wait until revision B. I really should know better by now. Rule #1 of Apple laptops. Never buy a revision A of any of them. This is what I get. ##UPDATE ## So had number 2 arrive, this one had a dead pixel. Bummer! It’s going back as well.

New Gun

So I had purchased a Glock 22 last year and have really enjoyed it. I had been looking to pick up a new 9mm Glock but seems they are impossible to track down right now.
