I once saw a movie (admittedly, a terrible one) in which the bad guys
destroyed all the information on the computers by shooting the monitors.
PUH-LEEZE.

Back in the late 80's, before computers were as popular as they are
now, a friend of mine had his apt broken into and they stole his
keyboard and monitor but not the actual computer. He said that he
thought it was because they didnt know what it was but I say that since
they had to disconnect the monitor and keyboard, they probably had some
idea and didnt take it for some other reason.

It's easier to pawn stolen monitors since there's little time investment in
wiping off identifying data.

Oh. Come to think of it wasn't my monitor, anyway. It was my keyboard
and an external tape drive. It happened around 1990, I guess. It
seemed obvious to me they'd grabbed what they could, and had problems
with the cords wound around the leg of my desk so they just ran off
with what they got.

As witness the "stupid criminals" section of such shows as "Wait Wait, Don't
Tell Me."

Thieves are still people. Their motives can be comprehended.

Re #126:
Well, schrapnel from the imploding monitor could hit the hard drive or
something...

A co-worker got a survey for jury duty. Does my co-worker have to
report that she has been a participant in a civil suit if she is
divorced?
Thanks!

Yes (It shouldn't disqualify her, though.)
Its a matter of public record regardless.

You should report that she's wearing the civil suit.
