 It might be worth trying [[http://laserbits.com/ppanel.php3?SELECT=Paper%20Mask%20Medium%20Tack%20-%2012%20in.%20x%20100%20yds.&partnum=SUS%20016|masking tape]] -- My sales rep recommended it for solving those kinds of problems, but I don't have an iBook/MacBook on which to test the theory. --Bill
-Sadly the wavelength from CO2 Lasers make really difficult, almost impossible to engrave on polycarbonate. The only solution (so far) to engrave this material is to use a YAG/Fiber laser. A great example of this technology used on a White Mach book is on the following link to the Epilog’s website.

+====External Hard Drive====
+% power, 46% speed (75 Watt helix) works wonders on a Seagate Goflex hard drive.

+=====Glossy Tile Etching=====
+After giving this a shot, I found that a speed of 92 and a power of 80 works pretty dang well (I used a 75 watt helix so your milage may vary). Home made coasters!

+====== Lima Beans ======
+Using a 35W Epilog mini, 60% power 100% speed. The beans should be placed in some sort of soft holding bed both to even them out as well as to stop the air assist from moving them. We used lentils and eventually made a jig with cardstock to mass produce the beans.
