[01:08] <DanaG> ﻿I can't wait until this summer .... when I get my new laptop, I am soooooo going to get a case skin of the Heron.  ﻿I just wish this wallpaper were included along with the other one:  ﻿"color-grey-translucent.svg" -- link is just above the GDM thingy.  Note: this SVG chokes firefox for quite a while.
[03:40] <troy_s> DanaG: Consider laser etching if you get a metal exterior.
[03:40] <troy_s> DanaG: There are some amazing and beautiful applications of that technique on laptops.
[03:40] <DanaG> Hmm, but that may be more permanent than I'd want.
[03:41] <DanaG> Unless I can buy replacement laptop lids.

[03:41] <troy_s> DanaG: You shouldn't mind if it is a decent enough design.
[03:42] <troy_s> DanaG: Some amazingly beautiful work done.

[03:44] <troy_s> Those are three of the more compositionally elegant etchings.
[03:45] <troy_s> DanaG: I have considered doing some custom airbrush work on a few of my friends exterior shells as per request... but it is a heck of a tough / tricky thing to do perfectly.
[03:45] <DanaG> Hmm, and I can look at the service guide to see if the lid is a purchasable part.
[03:52] <DanaG> Dang, not purchasable separately from the screen itself.
[03:52] <DanaG> I'd have to think about that idea of laser etching.
[03:54] <DanaG> ANd while at it, I also discovered that if you purchase without WWAN, you don't get the antennas for it, and can't add WWAN later -- but then again, I won't likely use that feature.

[05:18] <DanaG> Laser etched magnesium alloy.
[05:50] <DanaG> Heh, ALSA thinks my USB headset has an SPDIF output.
