OK... So, is it me or do any of yall's 800MHz G4 iBooks make a squeak/creaking noise when you apply moderate pressure on the lower left part of the chassis? To clarify, the lower left corner near the keyboard and track pad. I notice this when typing or picking up the 'book to put in my bag.

Kinda is disconcerting, wanted to know if this was common fit-and-finish abnormality before I prepared to say anything to Apple 'bout it.

This has been covered before, you should try a search. From my understanding it seems that its not detrimental to your iBook and is on just about all 12" iBook models.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)
