Hi all,

I am a new owner of a Al PB 12" and I like it a lot thus far.

This will seem rather humorous to the majority here I think, but I am heading to a Microsoft Developer's conference next week and will probably take this machine, but I wonder how I can identify it as mine without damaging any of the finish or ruining the 'look'. Right now my best idea is my name on Scotch tape on the bottom. Thoughts?

Thanks.

doesn't hurt the finish, will certainly make it identifiable.

There won't be too many Macs at the MS developers conference. And, even if there were, why in God's name would you leave it laying around where somebody could walk off with it?

I've never had a problem identifying my machine - it always has my hand attached to it.

Not so much just for the conference (I might disappear in unmarked white vans carrying an Apple computer) , but just in general for security & identification. IE: iPods have engraving, what do people do for their powerbooks?

Take the battery out, engrave your contact info in the battery compartment, replace battery.
