I am a pretty private person and I have concerns about intellectual property (I realize the chances of any thief stealing my laptop and then deciding that he or she would publish the novel themselves are virtually nil, but still...I'd feel
so much better knowing that nobody else could have my work before I wanted them to) so I'm not planning on keeping any files of any importance on my netbook. Rather, I think I'll be picking up one of
these.
Hopefully, people would be less likely to steal my lappy in the first place if they see that it is
tethered to my wrist , and if I ever need to leave my lappy alone for the shortest period of time (to get a refill or something) I can easily take all my data with me; the most any would-be thief would get would be a single chapter (the one currently open). Right?
It's kind of a ugly watch, though.
