An announcement played over the sound system, interrupting my break in the sunshine. First in Hebrew, then Arabic, then in English. It was something along the lines of, ” do not to be alarmed by gunshots because the Israeli security needs to blow up suspicious passanger luggage.” I went inside to check on my bag. I had left it unattended, where they instructed. It was still there so I went back outside. Moments later a man came outside and introduced himself as the manager on duty. And then, “I’m sorry but we had to blow up your laptop. “ What….all my client case notes and testimony, writing, pictures, music and applications. Years of work. NO!!!! What?? Are you insane?? What were you thinking? THAT’S ALL MY WORK!? After much yelling, crying and frantic phone dialing (don’t be alarmed if I called you repeatedly this morning), he took me outside to see the wreckage. It turned out it hadn’t been quite blown up, but rather shot through with three bullets. We were able to extract the hard drive, seemingly unscaved. Thank goodness…

only way to deal with apple products imo.

Macs = Hamas.

What f***ing idiot:
1) leaves a laptop unattended?
2) leaves confidential client information on a laptop, and unattended?
3) doesn't have backups of confidential and critical client information?

I'd be finding another lawyer.

What f***ing idiot leaves a laptop unattended?

Agreed, he would have had no one to blame but himself if it was stolen instead.

Macs: leading the Palestinian revolution...

Well a lawyer using a mac. He's going to be s***house to begin with.

yas might have missed this bit :-

I went inside to check on my bag. I had left it unattended, where they instructed.

Agreed his fault for having a MAC and secondly why would you have everything on just one hard drive .... Maybe he will learn to backup his critical work ...

Yeah, sounds like a typical sooky d******* who deserves every HDD failure that comes to them - regardless of whether it is inflicted by a high-velocity round. If you don't backup, you lose.

If I had a buck for every time a student said, "My USB key failed and I lost all my work." I'd be a very rich man.

Seriously, how hard is it to back your f***ing s*** up.

How can you walk around with years of work on a laptop and not be scared out of your f***ing mind?

ignorance

Title is typwned

And on the backups, considering it wax a mac, so he has Time Machine straight out ofvthr box...

Deserves it.

he is stupid for not backing up his data, but not nearly as stupid as the security who shot the laptop

Sounds like that jew was a lil too paranoid.

Dood he owns/has owned a mac - nuff said.

Good point, I'll definitely be watching to see if my solicitor is a mac fag next time I see him.

it's a mac it just works, even with three bullet holes!

Prolly an enhancement :P

They're speed holes they make the computer run faster.
