We went out for two hours today and when we returned we discovered we had been burgled. Amongst other things the took my Lifetec PIII 233 laptop with 12gig drive and w98/Mandrake 7.2 dual boot, also my Sharp SL5000D Linux PDA that I showed some of you a few meetings ago and lastly a standalone Iomega 250Mbyte zip drive.
If you are offered any of these cheaply or see something similar at a car boot sale please let me know.

Commiserations. Happened to us quite a few years back now. It was very traumatic at the time and is still a very unsettling memory. Hope you were well insured. We had been a bit lax in keeping receipts, serial numbers, etc and it made the insurance claim a bit heavy going. Now we keep very detailed records of everything plus taking pictures of important items.
You didn't mention the area where you live, but I shall keep my eyes peeled and also put the word out.
