Magritte's PowerBook

I felt real smug when I colored in the glowing Apple icon on the back of my old PowerBook (red for the apple, green for the leaf), but I feel completely unimaginative in comparison to Dan's laser-etched PowerBook mod [flickr link], inspired by Magritte's works like "The Son of Man." There's a detailed HOWTO on the process which requires Illustrator and an Epilog Mini 24 laser engraver on hand. (I have Illustrator, but no Epilog... maybe Underdog's Dremel would work.)
