I do have such a phone. Alpha, will it deter my base station even if its off?

The only time it will give you problems is when you actually use the portable phone. It will block the Airport signal to the computer. If you have the phone base, and airport base station in different rooms, it might prevent that. I have both in the same room, the living room, and I just live with the times when I get a call and get messages from Mail that it couldn't get email. Typically, all I need to do is hang up the phone, and my internet connection returns.

cb911, a few things... www.OtherWorldComputing.com sells pieces of leather to go over the keyboards to prevent marks from appearing on your screen from them.

Ouch, I wish I had known about this when I bougth mine. Does anyone know the best way to get the marks off? They're not really that bad and not noticable when the TiPB is on.

I have used the ultra-soft polishing cloths found in the better auto parts stores (actually, any of the major chains) as well as Target (picked up a roll of them the other weekend). Fold ti over a few times, lay the screen as flat as you can, put your arm under it for support and lightly buff the screen. If you need to, put a little water, or eyeglass cleaner onto the screen (or use one of the cleaning solutions sold for laptop displays) to give it a cleaning as well. The same cloth (when dry, or use a fresh one) can be used to wipe the dust from the screen as you need to. I pretty much never use my finger on the screen of my TiBook, so I don't get the finger marks all over it.

I also chop off the fingers of people that do touch my screen. After the first time, they tend to avoid doing it again.
