I bought my PowerBook on ebay, and I made sure I asked if there were 
any dead pixels. As for buying a new PowerBook online, well, I would 
not settle for a dead pixel, if the messaging didn't work I'd send it 
back or get my money back.

because I would never buy a Powerbook with a TFT screen without first
seeing the quality of the TFT (or lack of it) with my own eyes.

I was rather annoyed to walk into a John Lewis department store, who
are one of the few bricks and mortar places in this country with the
new 12 inch (no 17 in sight yet in the UK) Ti, only to find that they
were not able to plug it in for me and the battery had been removed.

I would buy other technologies without seeing them, but not aTi.
