I got this L14 refurbished to use as a backup, Linux-only, laptop. But it’s quickly become the first thing I reach for, over my MacBook.

Plus, cutting an eye hole out of a sticker is the closest I will ever come to being crafty, but I think it looks cool.

    OH MY GOD I had that Pink Floyd sticker on a “cassette suitcase” that looked a lot like this one -

    like 35 or something years ago … WILD. Had absolutely no memory of it until seeing it on your laptop!

    I’m pretty much done stickerbombing my old T540p, didn’t really set out to do it but it happened.

    You’ve got some cool ones on there, though!

    Bucket o’ Blood! Love that place. Played a incredibly fun new year’s show with Marc Ruvolo at fireside bowl. Great times.

      Oh shit, one of my favorite shows of my Teens was at Fireside; Elliott with Six Going On Seven opening for them. I love that venue.

      What is the connection to Bucket O’ Blood though? It’s my favorite record store in the area because their tastes overlap so much with my own, I always end up finding something I don’t know I needed there.

        Marc Ruvolo started it. He has since sold it, it appears. I moved away some years ago. But he was and is a great performer and producer.

        Where’d you find yours? all I can think to check is eBay and I have a hunch there are cheaper prices elsewhere than what they’re offering.

          PC “recycling” service nearby

          Aka, pick up replaced hardware from businesses and resell. Not complaining, its my preferred approach for a few reasons.
