I just got a new Macbook 13.3 and the front edges where your wrists go are extremely sharp. Now I've read all the stuff about proper typing form but there are plenty of times and situations where you actually have to rest your wrists on the "wrist rests" and it's painful. And from what I'm reading this appears to have been a design flaw for some time. What the "F" is up with this?
Is there anything I can do about it besides bitch?

It's amazing how little it takes to make it much more comfortable.
