Until then I think I'll get a set of hand-cuffs... and hook them to the
unit... :)
I just purchased a replacement computer on my credit card... (ouch)
Of course I had to be able to support my cad programs and do presentations
and play video games with my kids on-line... so I bought a DELL XPS...

51-M&SubCode=SKU-EXTREME
Which seems to also be a nice machine...
I just need to find a good burglar alarm now... I can't afford to loose
another one.

Hi Bill,
There was also an article in the latest CircuitTree magazine about a trade
show recently in China where a rash of laptop were stolen. Maybe sometime
shortly computers will automatically come with LoJak devices installed. :)
Good day, enjoy the holidays.
Mitch
