I mean absolutely no harm but isn't this a Titanium list? I plead ignorance
and if I'm way out of line, my apologies... I must add though that I hate
how the Aluminums open, and that chintzy/plastic feeling case... eck....

After having an AlBook (15.2" 1.25Mhz) for a few weeks, there are a
couple of things that really bug me about it.
1) Why is the power adapter and cord white? It looks like I lost mine and
am borrowing my wife's iBook adapter. They should at least have the
cord/connecter near the computer match the computer cased and be silver.
2) The power cord sticking out on the left is really annoying. I use my
PowerBook on the right armrest of my home theater seating all the time and
the cord sticks out over my cup holder. I guess I could change seats and
put it on the left, but it just doesn't belong sticking out the side like
that.
3) The sleep light on the display latch is WAY too bright. I could use it
as a lighthouse. I have used it as a flashlight. When I'm watching a movie
and close the lid on my PowerBook this bright white light keeps shining in
my eyes. The bright power cord charge status light is similarly annoying,
but I can easily rotate it out of sight. Anyone have a suggestion for a
semi-permanent way to dim these? I was thinking of writing on them with a
Sharpie or something.
Don't get me wrong, I love this machine, but those couple of little things
just seem un-Apple-like.
