I agree with Ross on this one: a computer is a personal tool and, as long as you
use it in your employer's best interest, it should remain personal. Two years
ago, I was confronted with a new and inexperienced board president who had
decided she was the real director of the Museum and wanted to know EVERYTHING
that was going on. At least that's how she justified looking through all my
drawers, filing cabinets and computer files on week ends... It turned out she
wanted to find some dirt that would justify firing me and allow her to become
president-director and be paid for it...  At least, that was the plan.
Fortunately she antagonized everyone and didn't last nine months in office, but
need I say that my computer is now equipped with a password?
