[_] Macbook Pro woes (more)

I've been in contact with Apple and they're taking me through the usual
stuff, with a slightly stronger focus on my error logs which was good.

I doubt this will solve it though as they seem to be taking the software
route, when I've reinstalled several times. Don't mind going through this
process to get though.

One funny thing they said was "you do have a lot of third-party software on
your mac..." - here's me thinking it was ok to install non-apple software on
my mac!! :D

I have a concern about the generation from which my mac came as I know so
many people who don't have kernal panics from different generations, where
as I've had two faulty ones from this generation. It's unlikely Apple would
ever admit to it being an issue with the generation, although they may still
fix/repair mine...

Cheers for all comments,

Keir
