Yo ho ho, me hearties. Behold me freshly plastered laptop

I went to Futura on KR Road, where they printed me an A3 sheet full of stickers. Eighteen copies. Anyone who wants one, ask me IRL. First come, first serve.

My laptop will be three years old two weeks hence. When it goes to its grave, I want it to go bearing signs of a full life. There is much acreage inchage left to be covered. The sloppy positioning is intentional, though I wish the Helvetica sticker were somewhat more artistically sloppy.

Because LiveJournal doesn’t allow fancy mouseovers and stuff, click for the picture’s home at Flickr where there be notes.

PS: No, I will not disgrace my desk with something as fuddly duddly 2.0-named as “MacBook Pro”. This isn’t even April 1. Apple should know better than to make such cruel jokes.

  Rs 25 all inclusive for A3 sized sticker paper. Colour laser with coating so the toner doesn't rub off easily. They use CorelDraw. I gave them a jpeg and they laid it out on a sheet along with cut marks. Had to do the cutting myself.

    Thats really reasonable, thanks. Gokuls charged me 60 quid for an A4. Cheers.

Well, you have already started with sticking plasters on the powerbook, you blasphemous (&*@#@#(* :-P

Now plaster something over the Apple logo, so no one knows that is an Apple. :D

Neat. That reminds me that I better start plastering my Thinkpad as well. My older Toshiba has quite a few stickers on it. The Thinkpas has been clean so far.

Pretty clean ...
3 years and the laptop surface looks scratch-free!

  Re: Pretty clean ...
  Credit Apple for the excellence off their titanium shell.
  
  The wrist rest area is in bad shape though.

  Plenty. Haven't seen many people over the weekend.

  Ask me when you see me. I can't keep inventory.

All apple is '2.0'. There's a touch of hypocrisy in that elitism.

Congrats on that! Looks good too!!

Glad to know Futura was able to help you out ;-)
