LOL, you know me, always getting my 18th century diseases mixed up...

I8th century?  Hardly, quite common where there is rampant starvation -- Hollywood starlets for example, and Sub-Saharian  Africa.

But back to Amigas.

Yeah, and we still have TB and cholera....I wasn't being technical I see I shall have to be more technical with you sir..

Maybe TB, as it loves cool wet climates, but NOT Cholera!  Not in Minnesota! Beer consumption prevents cholera, and I recall some mighty cheap beer prices 25 cents a bottle) and a lot of consumption around Northfield, at least.  You point out someone with Cholera in MN, and I'll show foreigner to those lands.

I did not mean US personally...you in MN also ?

No, but visited friends at Carleton in college, spending several weeks in winter and a month in the summer.

Metal is also flexible - even elastic to a certain degree.

Have you ever thought of laminating it with glossy colour foil - like they did it with cars recently?

Flexible?  It exists is a liquid (Mercury at room temperature) and a gaseous state as well.  But Paint, for the most part flexes with the metal, until the metal bends permanently and the plastic cracks.  The clear PVC sounds great for cars (like my Evo X) but might be a wee bit overkill for an indoor computer.  It is like having the body shop painting stuff; it looks great, but they do that to cars for a reason.

Well I'm glad to hear that you got good results. Would you share the brand of paint?

Not many folks look at the bottom, but 3/4 inch circular cork pads can be found at Ace Hardware online. In store my local Ace has a good selection of M3 and M4 (case) screws and nuts -- something Lowes lacks.
