It was basically a freeze out. The library closed and only two people made it to Denny's -- Hal and myself. Next time it'll be different. Michael handuma.com http://www.handuma.com
I might have made it to the meeting, but I had two laptops stolen from my car that day. They broke out my the window of the back seat. Stupid me leaving them in the back seat instead of the trunk. That was a really cold ride home. So, the window is fixed, but so is the insurance game. Fixed against me. I'm probably without laptop for quite a while. :-( Happy holidays!

May I ask Why in the world did you leave them in your car for anyway? And even if you would have put them in the trunk they would have probably stolen the car without knowing they were in the trunk. Then you would have been without a car not just your laptops. Did you think about that? On Fri, 7 Jan 2005, Jim Herrmann wrote:

Jim, in this weather I wouldn't leave a laptop in the car. Some bad stuff could happen to your liquid crystal or you could get some moisture inside the device. I wouldn't leave mine in the car if it is over 75 degrees either and sunny. Never leave them in direct sunlight for an extended period. The plastic casing can warp and you can again damage the LCD. When it is about 80-90 degrees out and you have your car all rolled up, you can get 100-115 degree temps in the car. (For wass, this is an estimate, not a thermometer measured, dead on number.) Just saying that there is more to protecting your hardware than locking it up. ---------------------------------------------- Somewhere there is a village missing an idiot.

The problem with the back seat is that someone can see the laptop bag, and do a smash-n-grab. I generally put my laptop in the trunk or cover it with something that doesn't look like it's worth stealing.
