On another note, have you ever tried to check your houses wiring. This may sound dumb to a lot of people but the older your house the more surges you have and the less inconsistent power you get even with a surge protector. Get it tested and pick up a line conditioner. It'll do wonders for your electronics for a single outlet its around 40-100 and if you do your whole house (through your electrician) look to pay around 300-600 depending on your area, and which type you buy.

Hmm - that's an interesting idea about the wiring - I would have never thought to check that!
Either way though, I don't think that's the issue - I move around a lot, and thus have lived in quite a few apartments since I've gotten my MBP. And since I'm in apartments all the time, if I were to check the wiring and find an issue, there's probably very little I can do on my end. 
Eh - I'm going to stick with the 'string of bad luck' theory. I think as soon as I have a little extra money, I'll just buy a new machine, and let this one be an emergency back-up/storage. It's just unfortunate - I think I really would have adored this computer had it not had so many issues.
Eh - maybe a second time around will renew my faith!
