RE: Anyone ever had an iSeries stolen? (Don)

Hi Gang...
                Me thinks a better tact would be to have IBM scrap any serial 
number tracing scheme, and just let 
                lots of AS400's be stolen.

                Once stolen, the new 'owners', would then want to update 
themselves , sign up on a maintenance contract,
                and voila!..the AS400 is now more popular than ever.(The 
insurance companies might object)

                Five years ago, I read an article that indicated that MS was 
prepared to lose something the the neighbourhood of 
                $500 mil annually, to stolen software, knowing full well that 
it would expand the MS world, and those same 
                individuals would eventually be back.
                Sort of surfs on the boundaries of Ethics...
