Cool comes from within. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

A sticker of the album cover for Ministry's "The Mind is Terrible Thing to Taste" is placed on my Powerbook. Perfect!, the Apple logo shines right through the top of the skull.

Kinda like the Gratefull Dead logo, except its the Apple logo instead of the lightning bolt.

Neither Apple nor PC makes you look cool. Its all in your head. Use what works for the most for YOU!.

People need to stop being so concious about image.

At first I thought "damn, that logo looks sweet in the dark" but in all honesty, I can't see it when i play, so i dont give two shits...

It's what you do with the tools, and how well they work for you, not how cool the tools look (from front or back)
MacBook Pro M3 Max, Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen, Ableton Move, LaunchPad Pro MK3, Behringer Edge, TecWav noise synth, Crank Sturgeon Plug Ugly contact mic, and oodles of effects pedals.
