It actually happens mostly not just when the screen is closed, but when there's pressure on the unit. If I carry my powerbook around by its lonesome, I get no marks.... but if I put it in my bag, where it bangs against me, and books inside put pressure on it, I do get marks. There's actually a company that makes a nice leather cover for the keyboard, but their name eludes me at the moment.... I've been meaning to buy one for a while. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
