    Hey guys,

    I'm lovin the G1. I've found it to be probably the best bang for the buck I've seen in a laptop.

    Two questions:
    1) The palm rest is glossy plastic. I tend to float type over the keyboard so my palms are up and down on this glossy plastic all the time. This is starting to irritate them as after a while the oils from my hand create something of a grippy effect with the plastic. Has anyone figured out a way around this? Any suggestions?

    2) What are ya using for a travel charger? I have a Kensington deal but there doesn't seem to be a power tip that will work. Suggestions?

    Thanks folks!

    dude! same here with the palm rest! haha i thought i'm the only creepy one :p well i'm ok for now cuz it's winter and i'm wearing longsleeves, so i just pull my sleeves covering my palm and continue typing ;)

    i'm sure i can easily find some sticky transparent stuff (those plastic sheets i used to wrap my books with) to cover it

    sorry can't offer anything regarding 2
