"UN" Decrys Powerbook Eugenist Yamadataro's slander...
Most of your points focus on esoteric issues, which are valid concerns as well as performance issues.
Websters defines "Paint" as: A liquid mixture, usually of a solid pigment in a liquid vehicle, used as a decorative or protective coating.
Given this definition it appears that the paint on your Titanium has functioned perfectly Yamadataro. It has both made your Powerbook look impressive, and protected it's surface (evidenced by the chipping that happened when you banged your Powerbook agains hard objects).
As you can see from many Powerbook owner's opinions, we are completely satisfied that Apple Computer Inc. has made the paint on the new Titanium Powerbooks to a very high quality that satifies its sensible customers, and certainly that the Titanium Powerbook is superior to PC portables in every way that matters.
That said, yours is a good post Yamadataro which demonstrates a single Powerbook owners concerns. It is interesting to see other personalities speak to perceptions of their high end Apple Products, and certainly the responders to your original post above have done their best to provide solice for a what appears to be a difficult situation for you. You describe yourself as a "hardcord industry guy", but don't let the fact you work with industrial products lead you to be confused about the fact you are dealing with a very high level of technological achievement in the Powerbook, that bears no resemblence to the industrial products you use. A Powerbook is not a beam of steel, or singlular minded computer control system for an assembly line (although you could probably control an entire factory from one).
You said you use a case. But that is not why you are getting chips on your Powerbook. There is a serious level of goal incongruancy between your handling of your Powerbook (imperfect) and the desired outcome you desire for it's appearance (pristine). If you want it to have no chips, take greater care with it. The same caution applies to trying to find a happy medium between how you treat your iPod and the way it looks as well. I empathize with your concerns, but expect entropy to be a Physical Law that no Industrial Designer or Company can violate.
Your worries about the Powerbook are like complaining you have a scar from careless behavior on your body, or that your hair is getting grey. Good worries to be sure - mostly because they make us take better care of ourselves.
