Like some others on this list, I've also noticed the lid warping a bit. Unlike some others, it seems to have recently gotten less warped -- maybe it's the warm weather. But.... Yesterday at work, I went to pull my iBook out of its bag & realized what I was doing -- a firm grip right over the latch area as I pulled it out. That makes me wonder -- do you stuff/withdraw your iBook in its bag holding the hinge end or the latch end? If you're a latch-end person, are you seeing a warp or not? -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t "The hardest part of all this is the part that requires thinking." -- Paul Tyson, on xml-doc
