   I find it hard to believe that one laptop had 800,000 applications on it..and if it did, and gap doesn't have a protection system on it, they probably deserve a law suit <.<

   Actually Nirkon, some major businesses can have over a million people on a computer, since all it is really is abunch of information like Phone Number each wouldn't take up much space If you look at hospitals they can have a crapload of files on 1 computer

   The issue is that all this very sensitive information is on an unsecured laptop instead of a database hosted in a secured location requiring encrypted authentication like it should be. I really hope that criminal charges are pressed against the user who was responsible for the laptop or the manager that authorized sensitive data to be removed from a secure location.

It makes more sense to store it on a central server anyway, since others who need the data can access it more readily.
