> Humour aside, I'm intrigued.  Why was your kit taken?

it was a long story.

short version is, he was a consultant, working at some biga$$ insurance
company as a PC Tech.  he pre-loaded Prime95 on the desktop install so it
was running on a few 100 machines at said company.   he thought he had
verbal permissions from the desktop systems manager, but someone in
corporate security got freaked by the nonstandard network traffic they
invoked, and sic'd the FBI on him for 'hacking', and they hit him with a
search warrant, and took *all* his business computers, tapes, CDs, backups,
etc.  left him unable to complete ongoing consulting contracts, or even file
his taxes as his books were on the computers too.
