i guess my fear is that us Titanium users will be talking about problems you 
folks won't be having and vice versa... seems easy enough to make an 
aluminum list... and if people want to subscribe to both, no problem!

I only migrated a couple of weeks ago.  I'd hate to be kicked out of this 
family!

But seriously, I don't see a separate list for AlBooks so I assume this is 
the catch all for PowerBook G4's.

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