Hi all,

Has anyone out there besides me had problems with their 2008 Macbook Pro (last release prior to unibody) USB ports and or firewire ports? I often have flash or hard disc devices unintentionally eject when the usb cable receives the slightest bumb or move. This has happened to me tons with both the usb and firewire 800 ports on my mac.

Maybe its time to take advantage of that expensive applecare I bought...

Probably couldn't hurt. I've had that happen once on my unibody MB, but it was a freak accident. If that's a regular occurrence, I'd definitely get it checked out. Especially since you paid for applecare.
