I have been using PowerBooks for ten years or so, changing them every 
two years. I have yet to experiece problems with broken hinges and I 
do open-and-sleep a few times a day.

Your point is well taken but I'd be curious to hear of anyone having 
trouble with broken hinges. NOT paint problems but mechanical 
problems.

Oh, another point: I am never without AppleCare...

I will try it and see how it goes. After all, there is the matter of 
productivity lost in clicking on menus as versus jsut closing the 
lid...;-)
