@Matt, I have to take issue with your statement "geeks can be rather illogical at times." There are very good reasons for zero-indexed values in computing.

Let's say you have an 8-bit memory register. It can store a value anywhere between 00000000b (0 decimal) and 11111111b (255 decimal). That is to say, it can store 2^8, or 256, different values. If you were to use 00000001b as your first value, you would needlessly reduce your maximum number of values to 255, unless you were to loop around and use 00000000b as the 256th value (which would introduce its own set of difficulties for a multitude of reasons).

If you were to simply refer to 00000000b with the integer 1, every integer you used would have to have 1 subtracted from it in order to work. Then, how do you store the number 0?

These are just the most basic reasons for this kind of behavior. Just keep in mind that us "geeks" and programmers take offense when referred to as illogical :D

That's what I'm wondering. I have an Early 2009 17" MBP with the 320GB 7200RPM drive, and I'm having the issue where it freezes up for about 30 seconds at a time. Sometimes this happens 3-5 times during the day, sometimes not at all.

I might try swapping out the hard drive, but I'm not even sure that will help.

I have an early 2009 17" MBP (with 7200RPM 320GB drive) and I've been having the occasional "extended beach ball with no hard drive activity" issue. I was relieved to see that Apple had acknowledged the issue but apparently my computer "does not need this update."

My hard drive doesn't spin down or click, it just seems to become unresponsive every once in a while, for 20-40 seconds at a time. I've seen other people complain about this, so where is the fix for the early 2009 MBP?

The device can also clip on to the neck strap.

Eddie, here's a post from the Orlando Sentinel about the new channels:

If you have 7 working already, I don't think you'll have a problem adding more. You'll be limited by IP addresses (up to 254 addresses depending on your network configuration) and the maximum throughput of your Ethernet switch (although I'm not sure how much bandwidth AirTunes requires).
