I know what you mean by all the last parts. Thats what killed my sr20 s13 swap. Had everything to go and was sooooo close but then all the last little pieces got me (couldnt find anything) and then my "friend" who was helping me dropped my car 2 ft off the stands and cracked the unibody right up the firewall. Had to part what i could and sell it. It sucked but o well time for another project ha ha ......

Hows the internship going??

^^ y'know how the Apple has a bite out of it? WELL.....he's the guy that has to bite a section out of it on every product.

i worked with the mobile team working on some testing software developed in house for putting the macbooks through their paces. writing stress tests and what-not. was a great experience.

I bet thats a lot of apples to bite ha ha.

Very nice. Sounds like you know ur way around the macbooks pretty good ha ha. Whats the worst one of them would do after you put it through its paces?

I <3 my ZX3 · 11-18-2009, 04:27 PM

i made one hard freeze. thing would full-lock up, no kernel panic, no debug messages to see, just full on stuck. we had to connect directly to the motherboard and go through the registry to find the issue. the engineers were stumped.

upgrading to the latest build of the OS solved the problem though.

yeah mike i was def a little sad when it was over, but it sounds like they want me back next summer. we shall see.
