Edit: A compass!

Well, I don't need to write my name on it mine: I have so many different computer processor stickers (AMD XP, AMD Athlon, Pentium I, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, "Designed for Windows 95", "Designed for Windows 98", "Designed for Windows 98/Windows NT", "Designed for Windows XP", and a huge SpongeBob sticker on the cover) that people just automatically know it's mine!

*looks in awe*

I've always wanted to find a way to make a professional looking sticker that says "Designed for Doors CS 5", although in general I don't adorn my calculator case with anything. I used a safety pin to etch mine (but not with Kerm Martian, of course Laughing ).

two methods i can think up that could acheive this for cheap.
1. take a peice of paper with your design printed or drawn on it. put the paper on the case. then just make a dot in the case with a pin or something wherever there is a corner on the design. then take the paper off and connect the dots

2. use a stencil Smile

I just took a sticker with my mailing address on it and put it on the back of my calculator and fastened it with packaging tape.

i use the Dymo label tag machine. I have a label with my name on the cover and on the battery thing. Stupid enough, i don't have one on the actual calculator. And the stickers are so old that you can;t read them anymore Sad

not really: i have to relabel it every 2 moths to make it readable, and it takes forever to make a good label: the paper always get stuck in the machine.

I never put my name on my calculator. I'm extremely paranoid whenever I carry my calc around because of that...
