Wow! No crime in Europe? Where's the boat?;-)

Heh, no. My brother got mugged there -- & he knew it was
coming back in the bar where he was before it happened. Just
like him to make obvioux gestures when leaving -- like inviting
thieves by flashing a wad of bills & fumbling as he puts them in
his pocket.

Might be like living in Brooklyn, but I've done that.

Hmm. Yes, I rather like this idea. Wonder what effect it
would have on cooling....

This is a possibility. Though I was thinking of putting a hasp
on it & running a cable to either another hasp attached to my
desk or sunk into the concrete floor (on the ground floor of an
apartment with carpet on concrete). Gotta think about that
though. Still, I'd have to removed the cover & fiddle round &
drill into the frame -- while the tube is sticking out like a
big, fat errection, just waiting to "make a mess". Natually, I'd
be dead too. Hmmm.
