[UAUG] protect screen when closing MBP lid

[Wade Preston Shearer]

When I got my titanium powerbook seven or eight years ago, my screen  
got all messed up from oils that transferred off of the keys when the  
lid was shut. The oils were left there form my fingers from typing.  
Apple had a lot of complaints about the problem at that time and  
replaced my screen. Now that I had a chance to start over with a new  
screen, I made it a rule that I would never close the lid without  
putting a piece of paper over the keys first and have done so over all  
of these years. I now have a new macbook pro and am wondering if I  
need to continue the practice. For others with the new MBP, have you  
notice any marks appearing on the screen from the keys? Do you cover  
your keys with anything (you can buy special covers but I think it's a  
waste of money… a piece of paper works fine)? I haven't heard much in  
the news/media about this problem for quite a while.  Does this mean  
that Apple fixed the problem and now leaves enough space that the  
screen no longer touches the keys and I shouldn't have to worry about  
covering the keys anymore?
