    Computers with legs?

    Can you help me please? I'm a US Government laptop and I'm lost.

    Sorry about the dud link.
    I went looking for that story on Yahoo but now I can't find it. In short, the US Census Department admitted it had lost 1000+ laptops in the last five years. I think the figure was 1300-1400, so it averages out to one a week or thereabouts.
    There are similar stories here in Australia but I haven't seen any figures recently.
    Must be a lot of "pre-owned" laptops (ho ho) getting sold down at the local!

    Story here. I wonder how many get lost by governments in every country?

    Thanks again, TD.
    You do wonder, don't you? Are these people careless with their machines because it's 'just government equpiment' or are they plain bloody careless?
