You know you're on the computer too much...
when you wear out the buttons. I have almost completely worn off the rubber top to the scroll button (pink arrow) and the right mouse button (red arrow) has a significant divot in it.

1. Yeah, I hear ya
There are a few buttons on the laptop where the 'texture' is gone... one big space on the space bar that doesn't have it anymore, either :)

3. I've only had this keyboard a few months
But it's already worn quite smooth on the spos where I rest my hands, as well as the space bar.

4. Apple keys get shiny with wear
like an old statue! It's hilarious and sad at the same time.

5. When the letters on your keyboard start to disappear
Everything in the bottom left is gone already. The E was no text anymore either.

I had a old Toshiba notebook and the letter started to disappear as well, so I spend a day remove the last trace which was pretty cool, since nobody else could use the computer anymore, since they don't know how to type blind :rofl:
