[iBook] iBook keys wearing off - ME TOO!

[Samantha Cornell]

I bought mine from CompUSA - ugh.  Still though, it was new in the  
box, the box was unopened (I don't have alot of faith in CompUSA).

Frankly, it is a bit ridiculous.  I could understand if i was doing  
something extreme with it, but honestly, I'm not.  It's not that it's  
a big deal, and I don't want to be picky, but really...

We have an Apple Store opening this weekend.  I may stop in there and  
get their feedback/

Anyone else?  Is this a recurring theme, or did we get a bad batch of  
keys?
