Arg, destroyed an Enterprise? That's one I've always wanted to see
but since the company had a short life in Europe only I don't
expect I will. Back before I really started collecting, someone
broken in and tried to take my AT&T 6300. The cables were all
screwed into the back around the sides of the desk's hutch. Since
they were in a hurry they just tried to pick it up and run. The
cables snapped so they left it. Took a friend's PC and left my
Amiga 500. Guess they thought it was just a spare keyboard or
something. Had some other systems but those were all that were
in the house at the time.
