Introducing Blackboard Pro – aka How To Completely Ruin a MacBook Resale Value In One Evening
Posted on 22 May 2008, at 7:55 am, by Wayne Schulz
Here’s a cool tip for those of you looking to “ugly up” your MacBook Pro and erase 80% of the resale value in one step. Enthusiast Russell Davies purchased some blackboard type paint and coated the entire top of his MacBook Pro. He’s now created a convenient way to take notes (in chalk) without having to open the MBP. Note To Russell: They’ve already invented a better solution to your problem – and it doesn’t require carrying a MacBook Pro – it’s called pencil and paper. Biggest benefit? About 5 lbs 4oz less weight to carry. You also won’t lose the resale on the MacBook Pro and there’s none of that annoying chalk smear to deal with.

Actually, you’d want to call it something different as Blackboard is a really bad online courseware product: http://www.blackboard.com

My god…that’s just terrible. Some people have more money than sense.

Won’t you lose all the notes when you slip it into your bag and walk off?
It doesn’t make any sense!
