Yes and I would never keep such in a home w/o proper security. Someone
with $1m assets should not have them were they can be casually accessed
or stolen.
you are talking about a couple of people out of the thousands who have
piles of what is steel breakage and a bit of copper scrap to thieves.
And I don't know any of them that want such.
As Ian says, lots of weight, probably $5 copper for one Symbolics box.
On the other hand a bolt cutter and less muscle, they can chop the A/C
condenser lines and get $100. no brains, no shopping.
happend to me. Just with I'd had cyanide or ammonia gas to release when
the pricks stole mine.
The Revision 2 implementation that I put in to replace the means it is
secured now will take a long time, or a small bobcat to pull it out now.
thanks
