[Ti] 17" Lid not closing flat, checked out a model at the Apple Store

[Chris Rock]

Hmm I may look into those little pads then, the thing I am worrying 
about, is sheer, causing fractures in the screen. but if it can be lvl 
while closed as to now allow large amounts of play that I have 
witnessed, then it may be fine ;)

God the 17" is a thing of beauty  ;)
