Hi James, There are at least half a dozen work computers before one gets to mine, how is that different from having the work code on the work machine stolen? I am not having the machine outside the company, it is for work at the work, I just got my own developer machine for the sake of my own productivity/sanity.
How do contractors that supply their own machine get insurance ?
