I broke it already. Well, I didn’t actually break it or do anything, really, but for some reason the Delete key keeps coming off. Like, amazingly annoyingly, everytime I use it.

What’s up with that?

I’ve also managed to crash the Dock, and FrontRow has occasionally gone bananas on me (eating up 100% CPU, and I swear I saw it jump to 101% CPU, which must mean that dual core is eating up both processors). Otherwise she’s good to go.

My annoyance with the Home and End keys not working the Terminal (or lots of different windows) is enough to make me start to think about getting a full-size keyboard, but it’s probably a feature of the program, not the Apple-Right-Arrow that’s not working, which could spell bad-news for this convert.

    You can re-map the home and end keys in the Terminal to do the right thing. This drove me absolutely insane for a while, and I have re-mapped it on a few computers I use. By default, the Terminal has things mapped so that you have to press Shift-Home and Shift-End to get the functionality you want.

    Sorry about the key! That happened to my wife’s iBook, and we just took it to the Genius Bar at the Lenox Apple Store and they fixed it in about 2 minutes.

    I am still jealous of your buggy and slightly MacBook Pro :)

    Thanks for the advice - and kind soul did send me the link to remap keys. Golden.

    I actually took matters into my own hands on the delete key and bent the little tab that should have been holding the key there in. Works like a charm now.

    I think I’ll keep it. ;-)
