Sorry, not trying to make Jim feel bad, it just sounded that way.  It 
was merely an environmental unfriendliness warning for other laptop 
users and Jim if he gets his replacement.  One place I worked lost 8 
laptops in the same pre-Christmas week.  6 from cars parked in front of 
the bosses house while at his Christmas party.  Jim's a big boy and I'm 
sure he'll deal with it okay.  It's the data loss that can really hurt.
And Richard, pedantic nitpicking is a sport we geeks form teams for. 
I've heard that it is a long ways down the list of future sports to be 
voted on by the IOC for Olympic status.  I can wait.
