Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

It was beaten, dropped, abused, keyboard broken, wireless was nuked, and travelled halfway around the world.
So far the unibody mbp i have is also...
After my 4gb went through the wash i just let it sit out in the open for two days. Other than a bit of dried laundry detergent on the screen on the inside it works fine now.
Hey thanks for the tips guys. I'm actually on the mac right now and I am blown away by it. Even just opening the box and seeing the sleek outer shell of the laptop made me go "holy shit...wow.."
Honestly, my enjoyment of tinkering with either the hardware or the software died off. It was a nice hobby and all but my needs and interests have changed drastically over the years. There is basically no room for it in my life anymore :/
I just placed an order for the 15" MBP:
2.93 GHZ Core 2 Duo

4 GB Ram

I've got a IBM Thinkpad T42 laptop (see sig), and I would like to install Ubuntu on it. However, I would like to backup the factory installed Windows and drivers to some CD's should I want to sell the laptop or even had it to a family member later on.
But I can't find out where. I've...
