Thanks! I hate it!

Though fair play you should be able to do whatever you want with your own stuff.

    At the risk of being called a corporate bootlicker, it sounds like it isn't their own, it was their employer's.

    If it's your own, absolutely, fair play. If it's your employer's... Then it feels murkier. I wouldn't blame their IT department for being quite cross if/when time comes to upgrade and return the laptop and give it a second life. For example, I would be quite pissed if IT gave me a defaced laptop like this as a loaner while mine is getting repaired.

    Yeah, with your own stuff...

    This was on my work computer. I expect to similarly modify future work computers, and I would be happy to help you modify yours if you need a little encouragement. Don't be scared. Fuck around a bit.
