University of Oregon shows off engraved MacBook Pros

Just to put an "educated" comment out there: the University gets tax money. That includes the athletic department. So no, athletic departments are not entirely self-sustainable. If my tax money is going to support a new student athlete building that I'm not allowed into, and gives free Macbooks to people who can throw a ball, I want my money back. Although it does support other aspects of the University like programs and education, I fortunately have access to those. As a taxpayer and as a student at Nike University, I demand use of all facilities that my tax money goes to, as well as the free technology that my taxes help buy.

RW-You can get some of the UO financial and contract information at the blog called uomatters

As a Duck I think it looks great, I see why they are doing it for security reasons too. That stands out pretty clear and if you end up ripping it off you'll pretty easy to spot.

Every University has its major donors, that's just how things get done; UW gets Microsoft/Gates, UO gets Nike/Knight and OSU gets the Bean Dip Company *s*

This voids your warranty anyways. I checked w/ Apple because I wanted to get my info engraved on the back. So if you do get yours engraved, say good bye to your warranty.

I'd spend some money on a MacBook of my own If it meant not having a MB with a ugly ass engravement on the back.

That looks like it's not even proberly v-centered (probably because they used the size of the apple as a whole including the top pointy thing which is a fail).

as a student attending Oregon State, (the bitterly rival of U of O just down the road), I say, THIS PISSES ME OF BIG!

I'm going to rally the Beaver Nation, and retaliate, by putting our school logo engraved on OUR Macbooks, and not only on Macbooks, but on iPods as well.

Looks like the Opera Icon to me.

Cool laptop, but I think it would look better with a Block O
