Re: [rant] 0 for 2 on repairs

Here's the thing. The guy I was speaking to on the phone acknowledged the thermal paste "rumors" and when I asked him about getting them to re-apply it, he said he'd ask them to. And supposedly he did.

But the morons at the repair depot didn't even get to the "repair" portion of it, they just concluded it was within spec after playing a friggin' DVD for an hour.

Since I don't have my MBP in front of me, if someone is willing to play a DVD for a few minutes and check the CPU usage, I'd be very curious how much it uses. I'm guessing --

Right now I'm playing "Reservoir Dogs" on DVD on my 1.8Ghz MBP

CPU usage 7.4%

39 degrees Centigrade core temperature on the CPU.

Clearly, playing a DVD on a modern laptop with a decent video card is a poor way to test it's performance.

Shaking head in disappointment.....
