All I can say is "Wow"

Steven Vore sent me this link about what Thomas Stromberg found on a computer that was sitting out for the trash after he took it home to see if he could salvage any parts from it.

Buying a computer for your bustling property management company in 1998: $500

City of Roswell Garbage Pickup Cost: $22/mo

Leaving the social security numbers for hundreds of people at your curb: Priceless

For everything else, there are the half dozen Visa card numbers you left on the computer.

Scary stuff, and a story you may want to pass along to your contacts with small businesses.
