The thief of the NeXTstation did not take several other things that
were available, leading us to believe that he was interested in only
hard disks and ram, or perhaps thought the NeXT was a PC.
For one, he left Clay's CD player, NeXTprinter, and color monitor
right where they were, as well as the keyboard and mouse. He did
grab the external hard disk, as well as tempest's (an 030 next)
CPU board and a disk laying near tempest, though he didn't grab
the 40MB swap disk inside tempest, and he didn't grab the MO disk.

Quite a bummer, Clay had a really nifty setup in there. Oh well.

A sign hangs above Clay's desk, where his station used to reside:

"To whoever stole my NeXT
 you better hope the police catch
 you before I do. 

		With .45 hollow points 
		to your kneecaps,
				--Clay"

Seeing as how good a shot Clay is with his SKS, and
as he manages the Glock 21 quite well, I'd advise the
thief, if he is indeed reading this newsgroup, to return
the NeXT to clay's desk. You've pissed off a lot of Clay's
rather well-armed friends as well as Clay.
