Hi Dave:

The BBC has a story today about how "tight security systems across the Palace of Westminster are preventing MPs from using their laptops . . This has resulted in MPs retiring to log on elsewhere or to discard their official machines and use their own equipment instead."

See; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4690408.stm

Cheers

Brian
