Rumor has it that Tony Duell may have mentioned these words:

Besides, what would be the point, if you have physical access... A locked
house door doesn't stop a brick through the window, and I'll bet anyone
here dollars to doughnuts (or bagels, or whatever... ;-) that if I have
physical access to a computer, my saws-all (large, heavy, powerful,
electric reciprocating hacksaw) can make quick work of any case I've ever
seen, including the AS/400's & mainframes I worked on back just before the
turn of this decade.
Actually, that's something I didn't think about... I worked on IBM 3090 /
Amdahl 5890 mainframes back in '89... anyone giving those away nowadays?

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
