For me, i think there are two items that jump out: 1. durability of the case of a laptop being checked baggage vs. carryon if indeed we now have to check bags on certain/all flights... 2. with regard to safety of laptops, if you mean that exec's are targets of robberies, than this further lends value i suspect of keeping everything on the network and having passwords to reach the network from the laptop, etc.... Nothing on the laptop but pics of the kids and mp3's. all downloaded legally of course... secure computing/safeword/etc.. to reach your remote files would seem like a good idea... peter
