Yes, this is just ONE of the quirky Mac problems. Yes, I'm an Apple basher and with good reason - they are a pain in the you know where. OK for checking emails and graphic design and 100% useless for any other purpose. Overpriced and under-usable. They look pretty and are suitable for posers driving MX5's and drinking lattes on the Esplanade.

How do you keep the ball in play with the machine on its side like that?
