Any way to remove scratches from Powerbook?
Like the topic says, is there any way to remove scratches from the powerbook and make it look pristine again? When I was at my friend's house, he placed my 12" powerbook on top of a steno pad while I was walking around... before I knew it... the powerbook kinda slide down.. the spiral metal part left a long winding scratch down my powerbook. Needless to say I felt like killing him but o well... Will Brasso work? or will it get rid of the brushed metal look? the scratch is not too light, and not too deep. you can see it, but it's not like a gash. Thanks for any help

Myself, I've just been maniacally careful with mine. I would've stopped at, 'he placed my powerbook'. No one 'places' my powerbook but me. Sorry about your scratch though. Did you try calling Apple to see if they have any solutions?

Unless you wanna get all auto-body-workshop on your powerbook, I'd say just learn to deal with it. I have several scratches on the top of my Titanium, I've learned to live with it.
Yeah, could always try some of that auto-body repair paste off the late-night infomercial....Always wondered if that really worked!
Honestly though I do like it kinda, it does give it character. Something to make it yours.

True...does he have a car?
I guess they just don't realize how easy it is to get a bomb on a plane. A toothpaste tube full of plastic explosive will blow the f-ing wing off. I'm sick of pointless security.
end of rant.

I know some friends that have gotten scratches on their powerbooks, but none brave enough to try any remedies. After all, picking at a wound often just makes it bleed.

Haha, I'll be like that too, when I get my PBG5!

That really sucks....kind of makes me dread flying internationally later this year. But I didn't have any problems last spring on a domestic flight with my TiBook --- they just put the standard "bomb detection powder" (?? someone elaborate -- I don't remember exactly how it works again) on it with a cloth and ran it through the machine.
Yeah, that was what happened to me too, and that the flight was domestic.
Vaccum packed C4 charge?
C4 inside a toothpaste container? A shaving cream container?
Let be serious. Only the most naively made bomb will get caught. It almost makes me want to smuggle bombs onto planes just in spite.
