What is truly annoying about this incident is, it's not like NB isn't already littered with laptop carcasses. Why would anyone think to troll the shelves looking for systems?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 6:17 PM, Jonathan Foote <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jtfoote@ieee.org">jtfoote@ieee.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

There was a Noisebridge Thinkpad sitting on my member shelf. It's gone.<br>
<br>
I feel proprietary about it as I resuscitated it out of the pile,<br>
including purchasing a disk for it (it was diskless) and installing a<br>
special kernel to drive the CNC mill. I use it to teach the occasional<br>
class and to loan to visitors.<br>
<br>
Please return it.<br>
