[Ti] white spots on the screen - issue recognised by Apple

[Kynan Shook]

They recognized it a long time ago.  I think the first public admission 
might have been in a financial conference call, when they said that the 
problem had been identified and fixed, and that no more new computers 
were shipping with this issue.
I'm also pretty sure that we received specific instructions from Apple 
at the service provider I used to work for on how to deal with this 
issue.  I believe that in addition to the instructions on how to 
prevent the problem from recurring, we were told to cover it under 
warranty.  The reason why they put up that page is because these 
PowerBooks are now leaving their warranty coverage, and there are still 
a few of the affected computers left out there.
