I cant stand dust etc on my screen so i use the screen cloth that comes with the machine to remove it almost daily. On the new glassbooks the lettering is on the outside of the glass (bottom center right) do you think eventually this will start coming off or rubbing away?
Got a tip for us?

Im not positive but from looking at it, it appears to be.
I had it happen on my old powerbook g4 but that isnt on glass and it looks to be printed differently.

The question is not what to use to clean it....its whether or no thte lettering will come off. However, thank you for the advice on which product to use.
On the Late 2008 MacBook Pro, the text is under the screen, and should not wear off (you can see an example of this in the TUAW MacBook Pro unboxing photos, when looking at the screen from an angle with a glare you can clearly see that the glass covers the entire display and that the text is not etched on top of it).
On earlier generation MacBook Pros (Early 2008 and prior), the text is actually part of the display assembly, and while it is not common that the product logo comes off, there have been some cases where excessive rubbing using a cloth or other material can cause these to "fall off".
