new ibooks... any better re warping & screen marks??

[J. Henderson]

First, apologies for the single long paragraph. I am into my second 
year with my icebook. I have never experienced any latch/sleep issues. 
I have not detected any issue with the keyboard touching the LCD 
display and leaving any smudges, etc. Am I just a lucky one? BTW, I 
have never had a software upgrade problem (and I keep up to date with 
them), nor a crash. I restart only after regular use (twice a month) of 
Cocktail or a software upgrade, the book sleeps at all other times. I 
am also of the opinion that many of the posts I read on this list 
reference problems self-imposed by the end user or an agent thereof. 
This is not to flame anyone with legitimate concerns/issues as I am 
sure they exist. I just try not to add non-crucial programs which could 
affect function and use Cocktail, and other utilities, on the 
aforementioned basis. I have lurked on this list for a long time and 
just wanted to share. Apple engineers great, not perfect, hardware and 
software. It is up to us to be judicious in how we treat the hardware, 
what additions/subtractions we make to said hardware/software and our 
dedication to regular preventative maintenance. It is comforting to 
know that AppleCare and listmembers here can assist with issues, 
if/when they present, beyond the scope of our knowhow and experience. 
Thanks for letting me share.
