`Course then again, any kid who's smart enough to know anything about
hardware ( I believe it possible to assume ) would have loosened a 
screw or two to "see what makes [something] go."  Sure, Apple wants
to be on everyone's good side ( there's money in that ), but let's
face it- if a kid wants to get in there, screws ain't gonna do it. I've
seen restraining plates with padlocks on Apples before, and it's not
a pretty sight.  A better idea would be to teach the kids about what's
inside the computer and how to handle it- then restraints aren't neces-
sary.  Since such locks and things aren't effective enough ( in the
long run - it slows down, but doesn't completely deter ), knowledge
has to be the key.  Who knows- might even spark an interest in EE...
