Shocking Powerbook
I use an Apple Powerbook Titanium alot. The paint on the edges where your wrists sit has flaked off, exposing the bare metal underneath. This in itself is pretty disappointing for a high end product, but getting shocked by that metal is even more disturbing. Most of the time it isn’t a sudden electric shock, but more like a slow buildup of tingly feeling that ends up as a nasty buzz. I’ve seen places that sell TI-Paint touch up for the paint problem, but I’ve also read that it isn’t worth it.
update: a search on the problem turns up quite a few users with this problem on TI-books
