»More belly-aching about the macbook pro

Oddly, Universal binaries on the MacBook Pro keep crashing, most notably Safari and the Finder itself. Third-party applications seem most stable: even Firefox remains running reliably.

The MacBook Pro has also developed a tinny, high-pitched whine that I cannot correlate with high disk or CPU activity, and drives me absolute batshit (I am also preternaturally sensitive to the "whine" of fluorescent lamps). Yuck. I am going to go play with a MacMini and see if that offers any relief.
