Not really to do with anything, but nothing gets me angry faster than someone saying 'calm down'.

Further, there are rubber knobs around the edge of the lid to help keep the "delicate" portion of the lid (ie the screen) seperate from the keys.

So, my point is, if the screen/lid is bent that much by heavy weight, I suspect the lid or the entire computer would break before the keys have a chance to "etch" into the screen.

Interesting insight though! This is certainly a situation that the average student wouldn't have to deal with.

the laptops that suffered from the keyboard etch flaws was present in laptops 6-7 years ago. My 12 inch powerbook had the problem but my new pro doesn't.

Hey,

Have you spoken to your roommate about the situation?

i hope everything went well between you and your roommate...As suggested before, if anything, feel free to talk to your CA-they are there to help you!

roommate is sick! Oh God save me!
