I updated my 15" 2.33 C2D machine last night. I am not wifiless by any means, so no new problems here. On the other hand, it didn't fix the problem with wifi cutting out on my now and again. That...

OK, to finish out this thread with a pleasant outcome, I bought a new C2D MBP on Friday. It's the 15" 2.33 model, so I gained over my previous MBP a faster chip and more hard disk space. It's a...

OK, I returned it yesterday. For what it's worth, here is how the conversation went at the Apple Store when I brought my MBP back for refund:
