Your dislike of the TiBook's appearance puts you in a very small minority. The TiBook is revered by even hardcore PC users as the most beautiful laptop design on the market. Your call for rounded edges is an outdated and even "Retro" design ideal and that has been passed over in the last decade in favor of sharper edges and newer appearances. No one wants a laptop that looks like it was designed in the 80's (well, maybe a few people do). I absolutely love the appearance of my TiBook. It is thinner and lighter than a Pismo and has such a beautiful large screen that I often catch people looking over my shoulder at it in public places. I applaud Apple for moving *forward* with their design ideas instead of muddling around with designs that have been "done to death." -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
