#Mac ROM theft
Over the weekend at the local university a break-in of many offices
occured. The only thing taken was MAC ROMS and memory. The machines were
disassembled, the ROMS removed and then the machines reassembled so that
users could not tell the machines had been messed with. The only other
device taken was a retina reader/word chooser device priced at $50K that
was used by a handicapped professor to communicate.
Several hundred machines were thus vandelized in one night. I suspicion
that it is the Apple policy of not selling ROMS and the popularity of
emulators that require those ROMS that motivated the theft. If you see a
suspicous source of Mac ROMS or memoty pop up, please let me know so I can
pass the info on to local Police who are investigating. This crime has
not only left a handicapped professor in silence, it has also dirupted
many doctoral canditated thesese etc. Since Apple will not sell ROMs and
since the university does not have the budget to replace the machines
completley, the only alternative to many person-years of lost work is to
catch the b@$+@^)& that did this!
Please help if you can..
