I can't believe how bad that computer looks. I'd be freaking out. I am so glad that my 667 is still 100% perfect after taking it to work ever single day since I got it 6 months…

I have a TiBook that I treat very well- not like it's made of glass or anything, but I'm careful. Never tossed it. I am surprised at the wear on the lighter silver paint (the hinge…

Wow. You people tossing laptops around... you're tempting fate big time. Eventually after internal components weaken from the added stress of being jostled around like that -if you…

OW!!! Those pictures are horrible! I myself have seemed to end up on this side of the line with my powermac, and it's pretty depressing, but OUCH!

I have a Ti since the were introduced. I'm on the road around 70% of the year and don't take particular care of it. It has some paint bruses on the top of the lid and some corners …

Anyone else having issues? http://ems.music.uiuc.edu/p/photo.ph...tive_Powerbook

It looks like it's rusting!

I have a year old Ti 400 that I bring to my work place every day (I bike). I also have travelled around Europe three times. Still, not a single scratch. Do not blame the computer, …

It's definitely not his fault. Scratches are usually lines. His is chipping. Dropping the machine would only dent it. The paint is most definitely defective.

All i hope is when i buy the new revision as soon as it is released, what ever it is, that they have addressed this problem and have some how made the laptop stronger and more scra…

A friends Tibook 550 fell from 1.5 meters and it spat out one of those "card" cds that was stuck into it. No damages. No worn paint, he treats it rather brutally.

My dear father spilled some healthy herbal tea (he claims not much of it) on his wallstreet's upper left speaker/keyboard area He lifted the keyboard and said it all looked dry …

Herbal tea is only good for people (so they say...), not PowerBooks... You really should stick to CD's and battery acid (in the right places that is...) Salvage the HD, take it in …

I've spilled liquids plenty of times on my PowerBooks, but it's usually only on the keyboard which can easily be cleaned out. Contrary to what Cipher said, the problem is probably…

I did the same thing a few weeks ago on my Wallstreet, but it was coffee with lots of sugar added http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/frown.gif Unfortunately the repair center said t…

Just out of curiosity, what would a repair like this cost? (Spilled my chew cup onto the keyboard)

I did not need to know that. http://smilecwm.tripod.com/cwm2/puke.gif

Hey, at least it has an uhm.. new fresh smell

The reason I say its probably only a minor problem, is that in my experience, after spilling liquid on an electrical device, I just open it up and use a hair dryer (not a good idea…
