Hello,
Inspecting the underside of a SGC a few moments ago, I noticed a dedication etched/printed into the board: To Dawn.
Who is Dawn?

Re: Who is Dawn
I don't know who this particular Dawn is, but I once sat up all night wondering where the sun came from. Then it dawned on me! 
I'll get my coat.
Cheers,
Norm.

Re: Who is Dawn
Hi folks,
Dawn - is the name of Mike Tomlinson’s wife. He was a member of Stuart Honeyball’s Goldcard crew.
A very human thought.

Re: Who is Dawn
From memory I think the (non Super) Gold Card also has a dedication to Dawn in the form of 'Hi Dawn' on it.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proven excellent for mdv data recovery.

And when the GC was released, they were not married yet - She still, however, did marry him afterwards, sho apparently she was pleased

Re: Who is Dawn
Mine has the "!" too, I expect they probably all do. I just forgot it was there without looking.

Sincerely, that is so sweet.

This trend for marking PC's has even migrated to Silicon - there are a few chips designs out in the wild with various messages etched into their silicon:
