atw: Re: Buying a new laptop

We use the cables with combination lock connectors here and my record for
opening one (where I don't know the combination) is 35 seconds.
Security? No such thing.

I suggest you buy an old Beta VCR, take out the guts and put hinges on the
case. When not using your laptop, put it in the VCR.

Safe as houses :).

Cheers.
