Apple Replacing Yellowed MacBook Palmrests

I don't really find it a big deal, but thought I'd check out what Apple was doing about it. They now have a page in their support section dedicated to this issue, but since it just tells you to contact Apple support, I did. I took mine in to the nearest store, and after attempting (and failing) to clean the surface he told me they could order a new surface and replace it in the store... all covered for free under the warranty."

I noticed recently (as did many other Maxtor HDD owners) that the performance and behaviour of my Maxtor HDD was beginning to go. I don't really find it a big deal, but thought I'd check out what Maxtor was doing about it. They now have a page in their support section dedicated to this issue, but since it just tells you to contact the vendor, I did. I took mine in to the nearest Best But, and after attempting (and failing) to get an in-store replacement he told me they could order a new HDD and replace it ... all covered for free under the warranty.
