buy mac - it's safer...

During breakfast this morning, I was called by my colleagues and told that we had a massive break-in last night. And guess what: although every single door in the house, locked or not, had been forcibly opened, our entire desktop computer hardware inventory (only PowerMac's and only a single Dell workstation) is still intact!

First one might believe that was due to the wise idea to put a Kensington lock on each and every desktop machine (the SysOps even put a massive chain through the handles of some PowerMacs) but it turns out that several iBooks and even one brand-new PowerBook, which were not secured like this but locked away in cupboards, were all found, opened, and left behind;

On the other hand, several Dell laptops which were the "expedition workhorses" for windows-based sensor systems (and which were subsequently quite scratched and banged-up) and one private Acer laptop are stolen, together with some cash and stamps.

So go ahead and buy Apple: the Bad Guys don't know what's Good!

P.S.: I had my iMac secured and my PowerBook with me at home, but my Expedition Dell was taken, too, along with a Sony CyberShot DigiCam.
