Re: TiBook Screen Scratches

I agree -- rarely pick up and carry the 'book when it is not in the carrying case, but when I do, I do so with the TiHandle to avoid any torque or pressure on the case. Also use the leather piece over the keyboard and clean with iKlear Apple Polish. No marking or scratching thus far (over a year w

I appreciate Dawn's response and I appreciate the post on the list. Too many times things like this happen. Smalldog has always bent over backwards to help me and I've never had problems -- even with garage sale products. Before Christmas I had ordered a refurbed LaCie firewire drive from them. It

I finally got into the habit of using my screen protector with my Pismo. One problem is that my screen protector is black and I keep loosing it. It seems to blend in everywhere. On Friday, May 24, 2002, at 11:36 AM, makmac wrote: > The problem for me is getting into the habit of laying my pro

Re: Torn TiBook screen

Hi all, Forgive me for not making myself clear-Apple DID replace the screen immediately under warranty. This is one time where I cannot fault their customer service. I was on the phone to them as soon as I opened my box. I was on hold less than three minutes, the service rep was helpful, and

Wallstreet in Clamshell Mode?

Hello List Members: I see that the Ti Book can be put into so-called "clamshell" mode. I guess this means you can run it with the lid shut using external monitor, keyboard and mouse. I would love to do this with my Wallstreet. Is there any shareware or system OS trick I can use to do this???

Re: TiBook Screen Scratches

One big help for me in avoiding the grease marks on screen is the handle I put on. (Ti Book handle, or Tilt-n-tote pr spmething like that.) I never am tempted to pick the machine up squeezing the top, and there is no pressure walking with it. Recommended accessory, and I don't know why Apple hasn'

Dear Ms. Nancy B. I think that you have a case for getting another 'book. Tears in the screen are Not acceptable, it will cause endless irritation every time you look at it. Please, contact SmallDog and explain the situation. I am sure the will offer to replace the machine. What your story tells
