Well, it still hurts, but I'm trying to ride through it. I don't *think* I'm getting the numbness issues, but I haven't been out for more than 17 miles in a stretch. However, I'm noticing the sides are flaring out and causing rubbing. It hasn't started hurting yet, but it's pretty annoying and I'm thinking it will start to chaff on the longer rides. Is this normal? I've only ridden it 100 or so miles.. I'm not really sure of the exact number since spring wreaks havoc with my recreational riding schedule.

Editted to add:

I've never really given Mac a fair shake because I can't get past the cost. I've tried using Ubuntu and really liked it, but found the lack of flash support to be annoying, although I guess that's coming. For every day use, the lack of commercial programs like TaxCut is frustrating. I realize that wouldn't be a problem with that Mac, but then I get the cost thing. I can get PCs for free on a pretty regular basis, with a windows license.
