How is the "bleed-thru" around the keys problematic for you? I just think it's pretty.
It always irked me because the brightness tended to be uneven.

Uneven across the keyboard, or uneven in response to ambient light? My first gen MBP's keyboard is still quite even left-to-right and top-to-bottom, but it has never tracked ambient light very smoothly, which I can deal with.

Just picked up a 17" MacBook Pro, I love it. 2.5i7/8GB/512

Amazing machine, my first 17". I thought it was going to be way too big, but it's the perfect size. Resolution is amazing and makes anything else look out of date, I mean: 1920x1200 on a 17" is nicely dense enough for me, still in love with 16:10. Have a hard time using 16:9, so this is better for me than the Airs. The thunderbolt is too cool! I use my Dad's dual 27"ers with a Promise RAID. It's driving my 30" right now through the MiniDP to Dual-Link DVI box, the 5870 in my MacPro's fan died and I'm sure there are many blown caps. Get to lug it to the Apple store!


A little Kismet action going on at school.

I miss the days of the G5 and XPS Pentium 4 running side by side as high-end machines.

Very nice! How do you like the sound on those Swans? They include the sub also, correct?
