In either case I doubt they waited for the mdworker background process to catch up. It consumes a fair amount of resources after install to build meta data in the system.

That's only because you can't short a component that is not under power. Since they dried out before you attempted to use them, they didn't short out. They will short if exposed to moisture while plugged in.

You can never have too many tripods.

And this is why I kept my original iPhone and never upgraded to the 3G, hahaha. My wait pays off! lol

There is nothing wrong with the mag-safe's design, problems people have are all the result of poor care. One of two problems can occur: 1)Abuse to the wire by twisting and over flexing (which will damage any power cable and cause this type of problem). 2) It's a magnet, if you don't look at it before attaching it to the computer, it could pick up metal fillings while stored in a bag or left on the floor, etc. (this is as close to a design short-coming as you can get) which once plugged in can short a connection. Anyway despite any issues, its still by far the safest and most durable connection on any laptop on the market.

Yes please.

Yay stuff.

Sure, why not.

I never win anything. But its not like its hard to enter.

Needs a biometric scanner, definitely.... and some lasers. OOOOh, how about an iphone dock.... and maybe mac it a mac.... too far?
