[iBook] re key labels wearing off etc

[Gregory Martinez]

That's a very good point. At the very least, if you absolutely must  
use a cover/skin to protect a keyboard, I suggest making sure that  
you do not use a laptop flat on a table without something to raise it  
and allow for more air circulation such as a Roadtools/Targus  Cool- 
pad or something similar.

I can see why a keboard skin might actually a necessity, such as a  
particularly dirty environment (construction sites, factories etc.).
