Since it was nearly identical hardware, I was able to restore my image backup and get back up relatively quickly.

Sorry to hear about it! We've had some car breakins in our parking lot lately (during the day! They've been grabbing GPS units) and even a car theft, but fortunately nothing huge affecting our staff (I'd love to catch those guys though!). The sunset photos are awesome though! Was your stolen laptop encrypted? I've been running TrueCrypt and loving it (some informal tests by Steve Gibson on the <a href="http://www.grc.com/securitynow" rel="nofollow">SecurityNow</a> podcast found that hard drive access was a bit <em>faster</em> after encryption, possibly due to TrueCrypt writing their own access drivers--I haven't noticed any slowdowns). I haven't rolled out encryption to all users, but all new laptops are getting it. So far that's three--our FMer, our Sr. Pastor, and our Tech Director whose laptop I just reinstalled Windows on this week And I'm with Nick, what are you using now? Man that stinks!

Though the trip sounds worthwhile, it came at a great cost. We're glad you're getting back on top of things though! What are you using for a laptop now? What a bummer, Clif.
