I used the plastic separator for a while and decided to order the ScreenSaver cloth from Radtech.us which is great because, unlike the plastic, I use the ScreenSaver cloth to clean the screen. I have had my 17 for a year and the screen is pristine. I also use it to wipe down the keys and palm wrests. Plus it has a certain cool factor. lol warwick teale wrote on 5/12/04, 12:02 AM: > BUT i LEFT the piece of plastic separator that came with the all that > was taped onto the screen. > > This has served me well.
