| [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. | |
