East End Long Islander We also have COWS (computers on wheels) ... little really heavy laptops that recharge from a rolling cart that has doors on the sides by the laptop compartments that LOCK. Labels can come off or be taken off, so someone used either white-out or some strong white paint on BOTH the cart compartment and each computer to number them ... easy to identif...See More
