One can now make money by laser engraving charms. That fact might strike envy in the mind of someone who spent 30 years working in a biomedical lab. Thirty years ago, no one had ever heard of a device that could be used for laser engraving charms. At that time, if one wanted to label a hard surface, one had to use a diamond point pencil. For that reason labeling could be a time and labor-intensive process. Of course, there may still be labs where money is tight, and use of a laser is out of the question. Sometimes, a technician must substitute for a diamond pointed pencil.
Some people earn a living by laser engraving charms. A cell phone owner can arrange to have a charm dangling from his or her cell phone. In some cases, that cell phone user has visited a business that specializes in laser engraving charms. In that way, the charm on the cell phone can convey a special message.
Since April of 2005, some ipod owners have considered attaching a charm to their ipod. Those ipod owners planned to add to the entertainment value of their ipod. In order to do that, they had thought about visiting a business that specializes in laser engraving charms.
Why did this interest in charms on ipods take place in April of 2005? Did it originate with an offer made by a maker of Italian charms? Was it initiated by the owner of an engraving business? Was it an idea conceived by someone who owned an ipod?
Free laser engraving gave rise to the desire for charms on ipods. Between October 19, 2004 and April 17, 2005, Apple offered free laser engraving to those who purchased specific ipods. Some ipod owners who had failed to take advantage of that offer began to think about how they might put a clever message on their ipod. Attachment of an engraved charm seemed to be a possibility.
Now when Apple engraved selected messages on the ipods of consumers who had carefully timed their ipod purchase, they did not agree to the engraving of just any message. Some of the requests were rejected. Today, a business that makes money by laser engraving charms might want to have a list of the rejected messages. That business could then make that list available to indecisive customers.
Some of the phrases that were rejected were in quite poor taste, It is doubtful that anyone intent on having an engraved message on a charm would jump at a chance to use such a message. Other messages, however, were really very funny.
One customer had wanted to have his or her ipod engraved with this message: “Stolen tunes inside.” Another customer had hoped to have an ipod engraved with this message: “Not responsible for prolonged damage to the ear and brain.” One customer had intended to use the engraving as a way to protect the ipod from theft. That customer had selected these words for the engraved message: “Steal this: Will self destruct when used.”
If an engraver of charms wanted to have an even longer list of possible text choices for the person whose ordering an engraved charm, then that engraver might include a few of the phrases that Apple did not reject. Some of those are quite funny.
An expanded list might include these statements: “This engraving has lowered my resale value;” “I don’t do Windows;” “98% Liberace-free” and “your mamma uses a walkman.”
Of course, some ipod owner somewhere does have an engraving that matches one of the last 4 suggestions.
