Mac iBook

[KnottedYet]

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.

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.

Try the alcohol, then take it to the mac shop and see what they can do... if they give you a new faceplate (is that what it's called? the palm rest? and offending keyboard) get the clear iskin to take care of it and protect your screen, because if you're seeing that sort of damage due to skin oils on the keys, you might end up doing damage to the screen as well...

We have the same computer. I wish I could say I was king to mine, yet there is no discolouration. If the alcohol does not work, take it in, they should definitely replace it.

I's nice to know there are Mac users here. I love mine. All my comps are Macs

We have 5 Macs in this house.
