12" PowerBook Wobble?
RedWingsSuck asks: "I recently purchased a 12" PowerBook from ADC. I absolutely love it, but I have noticed an interesting little issue. As it warms up, other users have said the case gets as hot as 120 degree F, it develops a wobble on a flat surface, like a table or something. As it gets warmer, the wobble gets worse. When I first noticed it, I thought I had lost a rubber peg from the bottom, but apparently my problem is not that simple. While on spring break, in San Diego, I went to the Apple Store there, and I was told that a few other people have had this problem, and that if I had purchased the PowerBook from there, they would have replaced it with a new one. Then I called Apple Care, and they told me that they were just informed of this problem. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, what did Apple say about it?"
Yeah, having your hard disk platters go floppy at 7200 RPM would kinda suck.
You need an adaptor.
Man, those Mac users are whiney bitches. "I'm already on my third laptop because the first one had three dead pixels, and the second one didn't latch just right".
No wonder Macs cost twice as much, they have to pay for all the returns from the users who RMA for petty little crap.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Its because of the lcd.
Liquid crystals are moving inside the display.
120 Degrees Fahrenheit? I think I finally figured out how Natalie Portman got hot grits!!!

I'm pretty sure it's the rest of the universe that is warped. Just stick a towel under one corner. If you don't understand, then go shove a fish in your ear.
That's just where the Reality Distortion Field(tm) meets Euclidian space. Think of it as a karmic wave front. :)
You could just as well use one of these
Fortunately, as the owner of a later revision 15" TiBook I only get case deformations upon re-entry into the earths atmosphere.
