Robert Nicholson said: "I notice two small bubble specs appear roughly where my palms rest on the lighter colored ti edge. "Where can I read up on what causes the bubbling and what Apple's response to this problem is?" Robert, I had exactly the same problem, and Apple fixed it with a one-day turnaround. Check the Archives of this list; paint "bubbling" is all too common. Hopefully you have AppleCare, or you are still under warranty. If so, send it back; Apple will fix it. DO NOT try to fix it yourself. Tim Naegele www.naegele.com _________
