I am still kicking myself. Shortly before I retired I was issued a
really nice lap top. I had an old one that never worked all that well
as the mobile terminal that it was supposed to be but would have been
fine for lots of other things. When I retired I had to go down to the
district office and hand in all my gear. When I gave them the old lap
top they were surprised. They didn't have any record of it or of me
having it. They never would have missed it.
