Great, the product and be beaten by it’s packaging. Nice.

Um, you can use the white plastic casing from a bic ball point pen as well. Still works on Kryptonite locks as well. Some soda machines too.

Hypothetically of course.

Wow, am I back in 2004? Talk about ancient, 3-year old news. This was pretty big THREE YEARS AGO, but it’s pretty stale and moldy, now:

Besides, I think Kensington’s redesigned their locks. I don’t know if they’re any more secure, though.

Subby needs to get out more.
