I do the same as Rick above, but the paint on mine has chipped right away on the edge of the machine above the dvd slot and on quite a lot of the hinges. It's not the end of the world, but it's not great. The fan also goes off too regularly even when just running a minimal set of apps such as Word, Safari and Entourage. It's a lovely machine, but if I were spending my own money I'd be annoyed. All the best, Colin.
