Phil, a laser engraver will make white lettering on anodized aluminum - it
doesn't actually cut the material, just turns it white. I think due to
oxidation. A colored anodized aluminum panel looks great when engraved
like this. I'll be happy to do some engraving for you in trade for a
DiscFerret. :)

Some engravers will engrave plastic keytops.
Makes a change from sports

Hmm. I wonder if any of the local engravers can deal with anodised aluminium
instrument panels...
Would be a very easy way to get some panels done up for the DiscFerret
prototypes -- use the Dremel to knock out the holes, then have them engraved.
Not sure about cheap though...
