I spoke about this with the guy at the apple store today and he said that if it was too much of a problem you could always sand it down!
Think it is very much posture depending though, dunno what it would be like sitting at a desk compared to laying down with it on your lap.
 
New from Apple -

The EmoBook. Now you can compute and cut your wrists at the same time, saving you time. Featuring the new Core 2 Razor processor.

Coming soon - The EmoPod, featuring a sliding razor blade and 30GB of storage, now you can listen to all your emo music, cry, and cut your wrists, all at the same time! Even comes preloaded with all your favorite emo songs!

that's discriminatory and childish.

i don't like it.
 
Your wrists should never touch the Macbook. If you are typing with your wrists lying on the computer or anything else, then you will get bat wrist problems, repetitive strain injury, nerve problems, back strain, etc. You should probably leave the edge sharp to remind yourself of this.

Prevalent wrist "resting" is also probably what is behind the Macbooks' front-end case cracking. The case is designed to hold the computer in, not the user up.

And yes, as someone who has had a hell of a worker's comp claim, I know what I'm talkin bout. Do not lay your hands down, except to rest while not typing.


Take heed of this. If you are resting your wrists on the front edge of the computer you will be more prone to problems later in life - and not because of the sharp edge itself...

Having said this, the sharp edge is a design shortcoming - it would never meet the human engineering requirments for MIL equipment, for example...
