Anybody else using a iBook? Is yours turning greenish-yellow from your hands?
Mine is going green on the keys, touchpad, clicker, and the edge of the case where I rest my hand.
I think it may be a sign I spend too much time on the computer.

We have 3 Mac iBooks in our home and none are turning colour. How long have you had yours?

I've had it for 7 months.
I've been very careful to keep the iBook clean, keep my hands clean. The green stains don't wipe off.
I think I have goofy chemistry, cuz I make perfumes change drastically when they hit my skin."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

That is very odd. If it bothers you (it would drive me nuts) take it to a MAC store and show them what it is doing. It should still be under warranty.

Is this the white Ice book? G3? They do tend to turn. What I got was an iSkin (google it... I think the url is www.iskinz.com but I might be wrong) but one temporary way to get rid of the hand-oil coloration is to use isopropyl alcohol, 99% and rub well with a cotton ball.
I got mad at my icebook and just pulled the pyrex (pyrex?) clear top and bottom off, stripped the white paint off with alcohol and painted it stained-glass blue to hide the discoloration...

Nope, the G4.
I'll try the alcohol. Then the skin. www.macskinz.com
I got Applecare, so I can always go back. I assume a new one would do the same thing."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
