Figure that one out. I've tried, clorox clean up, Ceramabrite, Magic Eraser, SnoBowl, with no luck. This is not a stain but a reaction between the chemicals in your hand and the paint. I constantly use hand lotion, maybe that was part of the cause??!! But sorry, no luck in getting rid of the marks... :-( I’ve experienced the same problem, left side stained while right did not.

Intel is Soooooo much better that ppc and the macbook aint tooo much different to the pro model so why it rock so much more? and whats this 'flaw' you keep mentioning? I use serato on mine in hot sweaty clubs for 2 hour dj sets, whilst recording 4 96khz inputs into my pro-tools mbox at the same time. All pretty labour intensive stuff and my dual 1.42ghz G4 tower at home wont even do this?? The heat issue can be caused from a crashing application. I found that i had a dodgy widget which would set the fan going wild when i first got it - Activity monitor showed it was sapping resources, so i uninstalled and now she's as cool as a cucumber never have any heat issues - so i dont get it??!?! however, i too get marks on the palm rest area - black not yellow though - looking for a product that cleas it succesfully.

Barely any of it is original, and I'm about to update my processor to 2.0 GHz. It can do everything the macbook can do minus the built in isight cam, which i dont ever use anyways (externally on the iBook, that is). Why buy the newest if it is flawed? I think the new iBook is just a tragic product from Apple. If you want to get a new apple laptop, get a macbook pro. Those things rock. Another reason I'm justdamn addictedto my ibook is because I've taken it everywhere and it's served me fucking well :P Also, I'm going to the states this summer and getting it professionally re-painted and designed to make the exterior look like a metallica album/archive scrapbook. Should turn out pretty fucking cool. Mark, I’ve upgraded my iBook to perform like the new shit. Barely any of it is original, and I’m about to update my processor to 2.0 GHz.
