After seeing how nicely vinyl dye recolored my AlphaSmart Neo, I had to try the same thing on a spare Dana I picked up from ebay. This time I used SEM's "Portola Red" Color Coat product. (The Neo is "Flame Red.”) I think it turned out really well. I like the darker red. It seems like it won’t draw as much attention as the brighter red of the Neo.

Wait a minute. That guy over there is playing Tetris. Can I play Tetris? Letsss…seee… here… Yes! And I have Minesweeper, too? And Super Mario Bros? And FIVE episodes of the Simpsons? Well, I guess I can take a break from all this work…
