That must have been a ways back.  In 1998 or 1999 I was impounding a hard
drive from an academic lab for more or less the same thing, and the
faculty member in question observed that a hard drive or three over the
course of the year was money way ahead of paying an actual sysadmin or
doing any security on the server in question.

Yeah, that was within a year or two of our incident.  Drives *were* cheaper
than sysadmins, but still in the high 3 digits to low 4 digits in price that
was enough to make you sit up and take notice if your department chair said
it was coming out of your hide because you screwed up.
