    Squeaky Spacebar

    I just noticed during that last post that I was really getting irritated by the little squeaking noise my MacBook Pro makes every time I hit the spacebar.

    I seem to recall being annoyed by this when I first got it back in September or August - I don't quite remember which, but I have a distinct lack of being annoyed by it up until very recently.

    Was I not typing that much?

    Was I just tuning it out?

    Seems that now that I'm again aware of it, I am now painfully aware of it - it grates on my very last nerve.

    It also seems I'm not alone. Teddy Hwang writes about it. So does someone at nnforums. And there are other random smatterings of people complaining about it 'round the net.

    Fortunately, my work office is about 4 blocks from an Apple store, so getting it fixed shouldn't be too terribly painful. But annoying.
