Got my new MBA today. Opened the "designed in california" package. Plenty of Apple decal and instructions I don't need, but no nice black microfiber screen cleaner cloth.

Steve - yer gettin' cheap on us!!!!!!!!
 
They did a bit of decontenting, to be sure (no microfiber cloth, backlit keyboard, ambient light sensor, or infrared). That said, the microfiber cloth is about $2 at any drug store.
 
I think they only ship microfiber cloths with the glass screen macs (macbook pro, imac, cinema display, etc).
 
Who cares? I go through microfiber clothes like they are tissues.

I had it with my MBP '09, when did Apple start to provide MB's without it?
 
They get dirty, then lost, then I buy new ones. Maybe I'll eventually find the old ones then rinse, wash, and repeat. Point being, who cares whether they include a cheap microfiber cloth or not, as they weren't good quality to begin with and did nowhere near as good of a job at cleaning than higher quality microfiber clothes that you have to buy on your own.

How? Mine last me months...

First, microfiber cloths look brand new again after they are washed and dried. I wash mine frequently. Second, if a word of advice could be accepted in the spirit in which it is given, top posting is regarded as bad form here and most other places that I know about. That's why virtually all of the posts you see here put quoted material at the top and the poster's response below it.

I've got it: they sent it to me by mistake. ;)
