Hey all, I just got my rev B 12" - and I love it, but I do have a complaint about the trackpad - sometimes it makes a strange clicking noise when I press it - almost like a double click sound (when pressed once). I searched for 'sticky trackpad' and didn't find great descriptions of what the rev a sticky pads were like - was this the problem?

The clicker never sticks down, it just has a strange feel/noise when released (actually a bit annoying).

Is this a problem - or is this the way it is?

I'll see how it does (its only 2 days old), and I will bring it to the apple store on 10/24 when I go to pick up panther, and see what they think- thanks for the input-
