I hope this isn't too dumb a question, but do the current PowerBooks ship with some sort of port cover for the modem, ethernet, firewire, USB, etc?

Anyone with experiences of the ports being damaged while in a transport bag (due to an errant pen or pencil, that sort of thing)?

Nope, no port covers at all.

I'm sure some third parties will start offering port covers soon. It didn't take long after the dual usb iBooks were released before one vendor started selling port covers.

I don't think I'd keep my PowerBook in a bag with stray pencils, etc though. (I just got my new 15" and it won't fit in the Waterfield sleeve case I had for my old iBook so I need to get some sort of sleeve and maybe a new bag for it.)

I would really appreciate some port covers. I am planning on the pbook 1.25, and the dvi output is just plain ugly, it would be nice to just have something to cover that.
