05/06/07		 Yes please, I just spent nearly an hour carefully ripping off all the stickers, and there's still glue on the computer, sticky, sticky. One I can't get off at all without a screw driver and I don't yet want to scratch the finish.

To avoid sticky residue and discoloration, I leave stickers on for a few months, after which they begin to peel off on their own. When that happens, I slowly lift them them completely off the laptop. I can then remove any traces of glue with masking tape or duct tape.

05/06/07		 we could have a whole page full of stickers that we could put on if we like! Like a model airplane.

05/06/07		 How about simply making sure the stickers don't leave sticky stuff if removed?
