    Nice, and a good idea. I like seeing themed notebooks, everyone just does flames or something like that on top. Original csx, original.

    I wish I had the guts to do that to my stuff sometimes. Ive undergone some minor projects, but i don't dare touch my lappy. Good work on the logo man, its right on.
