I have yet to meet someone who *doesn't* have this problem. powerBooks,
iBooks, prtty
much every laptop has this problem these days. It turns out that the
clearance between
the keyboard and the screen is just about a hair-and if its dirty, it will get
your screen dirty
as well.
What I recommend:
1) [Most important] get a protector
A lot of companies make suede, vinyl, and other screen protectors that you
shove over
the keyboard to protect the screen. The prices range from $10-$30. I've
found that a
8.5"x11" sheet of white paper does the trick for me, all under about 3 cents.
2) Clean the keyboard every so often
Never hurts. Goes for your hands too, after you eat that burrito at Cancun.:)
Cheers,
Dan.
