wearing down the space bar on the MacBook
Has anyone else noticed that these matte black keys on the MacBook Pro's show which thumb you prefer to use for entering a a space. I'd never really thought about it but apparently I ONLY use my right thumb.
Which side of your MacBook Pro's spacebar all shiny and polished?

I don't have the newer MacBook Pro, but on my Original MacBook Pro and 2 previous Powerbooks, I've evidently made many New documents and Saved them quite vehemently, as all of my N and S keys have been completely rubbed off.

I guess, i used my left thumb most on the space bar.
I'm using a corded keyboard on a Mac Mini (full disclosure) for whatever that's worth.

I have a rather wide swath of almost two inches right in the middle of my spacebar so I'm assuming I am using both thumbs fairly equally.
