I use a swiffer disposable sheet between the keys and screen to prevent such marks. Plus the sheets does its original job by trapping dust and dirt on contact. 16 sheets per box …

I have had bad experiences with Swiffer/Grab-it cloths. Their static-attraction coating is very oily, and leaves hard-to-remobe gunk on the screen. It took copious amounts of 409 a…

My take on this situation is a rather annoyed one. "Why should we have to tote along something to put between the keyboard and the screen to prevent scratches? We paid thousands o…

Perhaps the worst part of all this is that Apple's warranty and/or AppleCare doesn't cover Powerbook screens. I have a feeling nobody will be getting anything from Apple over this…

Apple refuses to fix what I think is their own mistake. I've decided to sell my Powerbook and buy something with better quality. I will NEVER buy an Apple product again.

i just ordered a pismo 500, and i was considering options to carry it in. i was thinking about buying a backpack with a padded laptop panel. do you think this would aggrivate th…

Sponge I don't blame you. I urge all Pismo owners with this problem to do these three things: (a) call Apple service at 800-500-7078 and voice your disatisfaction. (b) Complain t…

As I had said I was going to do in my last post, I've sold my Powerbook (a little sad - my first Mac was way back in the LC days). I didn't get much for it, but it was enough for …

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I like the think pads hope it works out. Some good news on this end. We do a lot of work for the computer industry distribution channel and one of…

hi guys. as usual ive just skimmed over these posts. but i have to add that ive had no probs. i use "klear screen" regularly as part of my cleaning process. im sure we'd all be …

As has been my opinion for quite a while, Apple has its priorities wrong. I don't care what a computer looks like. Its a nice touch, sure, but doesn't make the computer. Apple need…

I wasn't going to post any more, but I'd like to clear up what this is about... "i mean if you'd rather sell your computer than clean it semi regularly then there not much i can s…

I might buy a new PB in the next few weeks. Does the touching keys problem persist in new machines? and are they quite strong/durable? Any other good/bad points about PBs or would …

Oh, Wlonh, I forgot to mention after the third HD crash, they offered to replace it with a Rev A iMac. I refused. The 5500, in my opinion, was a more capable machine. Maybe not fas…

Wow, Cipher, what an ordeal. I am so glad that has never happened to me ever with Apple. I would have taken the Rev. A iMac at the time though! My Pismo has the screen probs and h…
