--- TIC-TECH message:
While most Seattle teachers do not have laptops in their classrooms, some
do. In the past week, I have been told about two thefts. One teacher lost
her laptop. The other lost the laptop case with all the attachments in it,
including the power adaptor. I'm sure the thief thought he/she was getting
the computer as well. Both teachers feel just terrible about their loss and
the fact that students in their schools would do such a thing.
Any educator with a laptop needs a security cable to deter theft. And that
cable needs to be attached wherever the laptop is in use, even if it means
drilling holes in furniture. Kensington security cables are available at
Micro Computer Systems in Lynnwood for about $32. Office supply stores may
carry them as well. This might be a timely ROPE purchase for laptop users.
