Of interest

[H. Peet Foster]

Well, I dropped my powerbook, screen open, and it landed corner first 
right next to the CD drive.  There were a few cracks there already 
where I had been spreading the drive opening to encourage Cd's to come 
out, but the entire light grey trim from the right corner to the latch 
lock cracked and popped off.  Bummer!  However the hard drive (which 
was spinning at the time) took no damage whatsoever (amazing!) the 
screen is fine (astonishing!) and the computer seems to run just fine 
(remarkable) although it is slicing up my right wrist even as I type 
this now.

A few interesting observations:

1).  I no longer have any problems whatsoever ejecting CD's.  This is a 
first on this 500 Tibook.

2).  It runs considerably cooler with the extra ventilation, naturally.

3).  I now get four bars of Airport reception in areas where I used to 
get one to two bars.  This says to me that the airport antenna on the 
Tibooks are definitively affected by the titanium shell of the case.

Now, I am not suggesting that everybody on the list with wireless 
reception issues go run out and start removing the light grey border...
Oh well, it's off to Apple for a new case.  Maybe this is a good time 
to stick in that 60gig fluid bearing IBM drive that everyone is raving 
about.
