My son has a newly acquired 13" white Macbook, which he's taking to school soon. There will be lots of other Macbooks at his school, and we know from past experience that the occasional theft does occur.
While I know it's probably heresy, I'd like to be able to mark the case of his computer permanently, first to easily be able to identify it amongst the other computers which will be around and about, and second for security purposes, so that someone who picks it up with the idea of theft might pass it up in favor of a lower hanging fruit, so to speak.
Since these computers look so nice, we don't want to just hack the case with a security engraver, etc. and I'm looking for something more permanent than stickers or Sharpies. And we're thinking of only marking the bottom. I know I could send it out for having it professionally engraved, but I'm hoping to hear some ideas for doing it at home, where I'm reasonably well equipped, tool wise.
Thanks for any ideas.
