Jesus, aren't there enough fucking computer gimicks already? lol I can't believe they sell shit like this.

I have no opinion. I think they're a waste of money.

On one side use the Yellow, on the other side use the Tie Dye. I think that would look pretty

Probably a lot of people agree with you, which is why I picked them up for 99 cents on Ebay (+ $5 for shipping).

Still, I want something that says "I'm lugging this thing around because it's mine and not for work". If I had gotten a flat top like the IBM I use at work, I would have considered spray painting it. Since I think the Dell top looks sort of cool, I have scrapped that idea and am considering creating my own laptop skin.

BTW, swapping palm rests requires removing part of the case and detaching the keyboard, which is why I need to make a decision on a new pad. In some ways this is good since I will appreciate my choice.
