I have blisters. On my heels. D:

Got my Macbook back from repairs, but the hissing is still present. D: I haven't even had this computer for a year and already it has a replaced hard drive, logic board, and as of today, a new fan (franken-rodney! -- what's left to replace? the optical drive? memory?). The logic board replacement resolved the issue for a few months, but a few weeks ago, the sound came back. Ugh, idek. I'm really sensitive to noise, so the sound gives me a headache, but not a lot of people (including most of the tech people, it seems) can hear it because it's so high-pitched. *tears hair out*

And I just noticed that I have somehow procured a program called Growl without being aware of downloading it... odd. That would explain why I get a notification pop-up every time a download completes.

Actually...I remember being asked if I wanted to install Growl either when I installed last.fm or at some point, while I was using Firefox...So yeah...

The most recent program I installed was Dropbox, so I'm guessing it may have come along with that? Idk. :x

Uh...I was asked to install Growl my first week or two into using my brand new macbook pro, so...it could have been on your computer for a while. In any case, I highly doubt that it was installed without your permission...Macs are kind of strict on that, at least mine seems to be. :3
