I really want a Porche but I don't want anyone to know I have one. Maybe I could take the engine out of a Porche and put it in a Ford Tempo. That might solve my problems.
The engine would probably fit better into a VW bug.

Those who supposedly just say 'why don't you just buy' are not being glib. On the contrary, they see it as really a simple answer to a not very difficult question. Many people asking for advice are not tekkies and are looking for a simple solution for their computer needs. Ever try to explain how to use a Windows operating system to someone that is relatively a computer illiterate (no insult intended).

Btw, never realized there was all this 'pent up' anger at Mac supporters. On the contrary, Mac users belong to a very helpful 'community'.

The OP posing this question is looking for a useful tool or trying to make (or avoid making) a fashion statement???? I see people using computers on my daily train commute, both pc and macs and never noticed the glowing icon....

The pent up anger is easy to understand once you use a Windows machine a while.

The new HP machines aren't for the OP either with their own glowing logos...

I have this Gelaskin on my MBP.

Probably a lot better actually but the concept remains the same.

Who really cares if your computer is glowing a dancing hippo on the back, its just a computer.

Wow!

I didn't expect this to develop the way it has. The question was quite innocent and in no way had any hidden meaning. viz. Mac vs PC. It is just as I explained at the beginning. I'll refrain from answering the comments made.

I found what seems to be an answer:

the product description says "glow in the dark" which doesn't really seem to solve your problem. your call, though.
