Back on topic, yeah! my TiBook 667/DVD has developed a similar problem. Some of the paint got chipped off a week or 2 ago, and the damage has been spreading... I think Apple should do a total recall. This kind of thing is unacceptable on a $2400 computer. I called Apple tech support about this and the guy said that I have the full 12 month warranty period to make a claim, and that Apple uses refurb parts to make repairs, so I should wait until the end of the warranty period in case the problem gets worse, then make a claim. He said that there may be minor cosmetic damage on the repair parts as well.

<strong>Think a second before you post, dude. The bezel around the edge is some kind of translucent plastic painted light silver. The part that's titanium is the top and bottom surfaces of the case, the area around the display, and the palm rest.</strong><hr></blockquote>Thanks for the advice. However, I am aware of this , which is why I asked the second part of my question. Also, you'd think for a $3000 notebook, they'd use plastic that was silver throughout and not painted so scratches would look less obvious.

<strong>I'm just waiting to see what Apple will do.</strong><hr></blockquote>Don't forget to let us know. I feel this is a *very* serious issue.

Am I off-base...?
