Just an interesting topic I though, I got the idea for this from a totally different forum :)

So as for me I've shared the family PC when I was like 15 - 16 odd I think, but mainly used it myself.
After I hit 16 and left school for college I found a job and started putting my own PC together. Upgraded since and whatnot. Have a load of stuff plugged up to it too :D

No-one touches my PC! Except when I was back home, a friend of mine would use it from time to time to browse the web when he'd come over just before we went out or something.

Ohh and one thing I also hate is when people actually touch the monitor while they're around you showing you where to go on a website and whatnot. I disliked it when people did it on the CRT monitor. I REALLY disliked it when I got my first TFT monitor (18") and now I just hate it. if someone phisically touches the screen on my 24" baby, Dell monitor. Doesn't matter if I don't know them that well or anything, they get a strict warning when they go near it again :p

And ohh, the old PC's that we had, the old P3 NEC PC now belongs to my lil cousin, my first PC custom PC now belongs to my lil sis :) My parents have a laptop which I tend to ninja when I go back home from uni, and in the study room, I've setup another PC which is a shuttle, P4 2.8 I think, and my lil (6 year old) brother uses that for games and whatnot :p
 
Even so von, it can do slight damage to the pixels if the pressure is a bit too high :p But I Do know what you mean, I've done that myself sometimes.

At work I don't let anyone else use my laptop either, even though it isn't 'mine' as such it has data on there that shouldn't be seen by anyone else so I eliminate the chance of that happening by not letting anyone else use the machine.


What are the chances that the IT pollicy at your work says the laptop should not contain any personal data :p

As we had that sorta policy when I was working at my last job. I was allowed to snoop about the PCs to make sure they were adheering to the rules. I Was even allowed to snoop about on partners' machines as the rules applied to "everyone". :p
