No joke, great mod.

Don't be scared. Fuck around a bit.

I believe strongly in customizing one's tools

The irony of saying this about a Mac.

This was on my work computer.

Oh god. The IT department must hate them.

I wonder if they would do that with their personal machines as well...

My IT department doesn't even let us put stickers on the laptops out of concerns about damage

Your IT department is ludicrous. The resale value isn’t impacted by stickers; they’re sold in lots.

That's the excuse they give you. The real reason is that they don't want employees expressing their personalities or affiliations while representing the company.

Thanks! I hate it!

Though fair play you should be able to do whatever you want with your own stuff.

I really do hate the edges on the unibody macs. I don’t think I can take a file to a paycheque’s worth of delicate electronics.
