Has this Labtam been paid for?
For those who don't know, Labtam is now in receivership because the
commies can't pay their bills. One of the RISKS of doing business
with the USSR --- you can't send the bailiffs round when they default.
Whatever the technical legal term, IMHO if this is one of the unpaid
computers then until the bill is paid, morally speaking, ioc is stolen
property.
