I don't think that was the case, but you > never know. People go into CompUSA's just to mess the Mac's up. I was in the CompUSA store in Emeryville CA. A friend of mine is the A.S.C there. He caught a kid purposely closing the lid of a TiBook down over the lock bar and cracking the screen. He was 17 years old and laughing bout it with his friends. The A.S.C. asked him where his parents were and called security as well as the cops. It wasn't pretty, but the little b*stard got away with it. I would put absolutely NO weight in a machine I saw at a retail Store like CompUSA. They are abused machines and should not be used as a representative machine. Furthermore, the new 12" and 17" G4 Powerbooks have a redesigned kbd. So many users complained about the "squishy" response of the 15" keyboard that they fixed the problem and made RAM access through the bottom of the machine and permanently attached the keyboard in a sturdy manner.
