Keyboard/Screen protection on 17"?

[John B. Crane]

I use RadTech's Laptop ScreensavRz, and the PowerSleeve (as referred to 
me by another member of this list) when transporting.
Go to www.radtech.us. Reasonably priced, nice looking... I have mine 
sitting atop the laptop keyboard all the time. I use an external 
keyboard, mouse and display, and have BigAl sitting off to the right.

This, I reason, keeps dust and unnecessary wear and tear from the main 
moving parts of the machine-the keyboard. When I travel, I simply fold 
down the screen with the ScreensavRz in place and unplug. It's a much 
more elegant presentation to clients then the thin, dog-eared piece of 
foam that shipped with the machine ;-).

FWIW, I had the "genius" at the Apple Store tell me that my Lombard's 
screen was "etched" because of the oils on my fingers coming in contact 
with the screen when closed, pressing against the keys. I don't know if 
I buy that... I'm sure that might ad to it, but I believe if the screen 
comes in contact with _anything_ during closed transport, it'll leave a 
mark.

Hope this helps-
