You could walk into an auto supply shop and see if you can find an acrylic touch up lacquer that would match the colour. It would be a lot less expensive then the dedicated paint for powerbooks that you get on the Internet - about which I might add there are many scathing reviews. The other suggestion is what I would do. If the scratch was really noticeable, I would get a set of "Grip Stickons" - or whatever they are called. They make your Powerbook much more "grippy" and decorate it at the same time. If you were to place one of the strips over top of the scratch you would never have to look at it again! jg
