This is one of the few times where the word "thorough" being used to describe a post is particularly apt.

And for a second I thought my old computers were growing some sort of mold... It never really occurred to me that it could just be plastic discoloration.<p>Interesting self reflection, in this case I happen to have blamed myself...I wonder what that makes me

This is why I didn't buy a white MacBook. I have a feeling the palmrest discoloration problem that the white MacBooks experienced a little while ago will only be the tip of the iceberg.

Jeeez I spent a whole 5 minutes scan reading the article for the answer. Why can't people start long articles with the conclusions first? Would save everyone a lot of time.

I almost didn't give yellowing a second thought on old devices, since I saw the same effect on all types of old paper (especially newspapers).

Good thing they started making computers black.
