AH! Thanks for the clarification. Back when the show staff would steal
our sandwiches, cookies, beer, etc. from our Comdex booth every night, we
started to use a gutted Compaq case for hiding our goodies, and smuggling
them in. Until now, I was afraid to tell THIS group.
No, that is REAL class!

My neighbors
often discard computers, although admittedly rarely laptops.
Not over here they
don't... 'Course I
could get components by taking apart the discarded computers,
but I seem to recall that you didn't approve of rendering working machines
inoperable to get parts.
PCs don't count ;-). Couldn't
you flash the lights using a discarded computer?
I did. I've got a set of
Newtonsday lights controlled by a PERQ 2 T4....
Now that _is_ overkill....
