The silver checkerboard is also left after removal of some "Property of the 
University of...." or other Corporate Assett Tags. Not all of them of 
course, but I have seen some that leave that distinctive pattern when 
removed.

Matter of fact, two days ago I took one off an RL02 drive and saw that 
silver checkerboard. Five minutes of soaking with GoGone and 30 seconds with 
a razorblade and it was gone :)
