Yeah, this is really no joke. The Concordia Computer store sells a
variety of cable locks that are well worth looking into. Once I'm able
to afford a replacement computer, I'm swayed by the idea of putting my

ugly ass container to make it less sexy and stealable.

It can't be said too many times that it's essential to have lots of
storage media and work up some kind of personal system where you make
regular backups.

I might also suggest a software sampler.
