Could be they just turn off lots of the built-in delays that MS has in the system. You can turn of Window animation, menu item slide-in/fade-in/fade-out, and turn the delay to 0 for opening submenus. I do this with every install, and users always think the system is amazingly faster:)
My iBook is a 700 mhz 14" ibook....yes, it's the model affected by the logic board issue. But no, it appears my serial number is just outside their accepted range, despite it being the same model as one of the 2 generations covered under the program. See, what Apple ( in their infinite wisdom ) did was that they decided 2 generations were covered (the 2 generations before the last ibook G3 generation), but they based their recall on when these generations went on sale, not when they were manufactured. Lucky me, I got an early one off the line, manufactured before they went on sale. Apple would have me believe (yes I've called them, to no avail ) that they "made them right" for a few weeks, and then made some change in manufacturing that went on for a year. Ummmm...right.
Forgive my somewhat sarcastic parody...Lots of money out of my pocket. Not cool at all.
Considering that law enforcement has an element of discretion to it, I certainly wouldn't want to be on this list. Get pulled over for speeding? It could be the difference between a warning and a ticket, or perhaps even more of a hassle like arrest, search, and vehicle seizure. Police have the option of "letting things slide". I would guess for someone on this list, not much is going to slide. Empty beer can on the floor of your car? Being on the list might be the difference to whether or not the cop hauls your ass in anyways when you explain it's a month old.
There's millions of examples where this can go wrong.....
This is only really relevant if the data on his hard drive is only valued as being confidential. In that case, your argument makes sense, as he has lost $2,000 due to loss of confidentiality. Most music has no confidentiality value, so this doesn't apply.
Otherwise, he still has the data on his drive, so he hasn't really lost anything. For sake of argument, let's say you "stole" all his MP3's. Has he lost anything? Can he not listen to his MP3's anymore? Sure he can. Loss to him: $0.
And finally, if you destroyed all the MP3's on his drive, that's a different matter altogether.
Sandpaper wasn't meant to be copied, nor are copiers made exclusively ( i.e. intended to be used in this and only this manner ) to copy sandpaper. There's a difference.

How's it going, Bery? (if you remember me)....I am shocked...SHOCKED to stumble into you in a BeOS thread ;)
Don't forget to add an optional secondary hair color, with an option for none.... ;)
Wow, they have speech recognition now?And exactly which letters is your boss having trouble pronouncing?
Not that I'd be surprised at anything from a PHB....
