How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly?

basementman writes "I recently purchased a 10 inch white MSI wind. As you can see it's a small computer and it's good for what I use it for. I get a lot of comments from women saying it is 'cute' or 'adorable.' Not the good kind of cute that will get me the attention I want though, the kind of cute that says they think I have a different presence than I actually want to portray. So how can I make my netbook more manly, or at least have some witty line to respond to the their comments?" Hopefully basementman didn't get a netbook with the hopes of it getting him some action, but what cool mods (or witty one-liners) have others used to salvage their dignity from hardware that is "a good size"?

Or buy a 13" Macbook. Women might still want to look at it. Unfortunately, so might men.

I'm doing the same thing, just the other way 'round.
So....you're making use of those great e-mail offers to compensate for your small car?
Man, if I had to get a small car to compensate for my dick the Tata Nano would be way too large for me.
