No problem. I am saving for a pb myself, and happened to read about this somewere. And indeed, not everyone has a problem with the lines being there. If I understand correctly it’s not always visible and even then it might not be too bad.

Dang, I do believe mine does have the lines. It doesn’t bother me too much but its interesting to know. Thanks for alerting me of this Matthijs.

John, you can read more about it here: here and here. It seems the problem is on almost all new models, but sometimes it's hard to see. In the first link a testimage is given with which you can check if the problem exists. John Hicks has the problem too with his new PB (see his latest post).

@Matthijs – I haven’t heard about or noticed any issues with strange lines. I’ll keep an eye out though.

John, happy for you! Don’t you have the problems with the screen which everybody seems to have with the new powerbooks? (strange lines, only seen on some colors)
