I didn't see any problem when I got it, but I only had my machine about a week, before I noticed the ethernet port was a dud. Had to send it back to Apple, and got it back about three weeks later...I've had this reset, problem ever since. So... I don't know... My machine ran like a charm when I first got it. Thanks Brian!
