Laptop covered in chalkboard paint

Russell Davies has customized his MacBook Pro by giving it a coat of chalkboard paint; he keeps his to-do list on the lid. I'm guessing he gets a lot of chalk dust on his coat-sleeves when he carries the machine between his arm and his body, but really, isn't that a small price to pay for enjoying such a sweet, low-tech hack?
