[iBook] Re: iBook Parts (cracked?)

[Scott Warren]

Here is the thread I started about the cracks on the corners of the 
iBook in the gray "band" around the edge.  I was told that this is not 
covered by apple care.  I thought it odd that 38 computers get the same 
kind of crack in the same place and no other place on the same 
material.  No way 38 people treat a computer the same way.  We 
submitted this to apple and never heard back from them.

Only 1 or 2 people responded to this letting me know their single 
laptop showed signs of something similar so I am not sure what to think 
about this.
