Who Needs the $100 Laptop? Just "Borrow" one from the Government

The Federal Government seems to be in the business of giving away free computers… how else could we explain that “More than 1,100 laptop computers have vanished from the Department of Commerce since 2001” ? (source: Washignton Post).

The second part of the quote is even scarier: “including nearly 250 from the Census Bureau containing such personal information as names, incomes and Social Security numbers, federal officials said yesterday.”

Gee. I don’t even want to think trough the privacy implications.   Scott McNealy was right.
