Mine was stolen last week, so I bought another. But then yesterday it happened again, and I had to get another one. Today I can't find my laptop. I'll probably just make another trip to the Apple store and buy a few backups just incase. The worst part is, they were 27" iMacs. I lost the carrying cases too!

Nope. Back in my days, we didn't have laptops. We had pencil and paper and that's the way it was and we liked it!

Nope.

But I did have my windows laptop stolen at an airport while I was in college. Had it sitting next to me on the floor, got up to walk to my gate and it was gone. Somebody somehow got it while I was looking the other way or something.

Thankfully no but that's because I was too poor to afford one back in the day. In college I was rocking a hand-me-down Dell tower PC. I think it was a Pentium II with a whopping 40GB HD and 512MB of RAM. Then I upgraded to a POS Toshiba Satellite laptop that held it's charge for all of 10 minutes before I had to bolt to the nearest wall outlet. Oh how the times have changed.

As far as destroyed? The above mentioned Toshiba Satellite laptop. Thanks to countless viruses I had to restore the HD so many times, I actually memorized the WinXP License key. Eventually the motherboard fried so I dropped the laptop out of a three story apartment building. I did go back and pick up the hard drive, just in case, but yeah, it was completely FUBAR'd.

Went to college in the early 90s. No laptop for me. I did have a computer running 20Mhz, 2MB of RAM, 40MB harddrive, and a 24-pin dot matrix printer.
