You will want to lock it down, definitely.

I had mine locked down by VersaLock.  It's essentially a two-piece-per-lock-
mechanism kit (one piece sticks to the desk, the other sticks to the
underside of the computer, and they lock together with a neato locking
mechanism).  We had to put one in the front and one on the side due to the
vents on the underside of the NeXTstation, but it seems pretty damn secure to
me...

I have no connection with VersaLock other than being a satisfied customer.
If anyone wants more information, mail me and I'll give you the number to
call.  I'm pretty sure I have mail working again...

(although I forgot to put /etc/organization back)

WHERE CAN THE MATTER BE

	Oh, dear, where can the matter be
	When it's converted to energy?
	There is a slight loss of parity.
