Ned sat down at the computer of one of the partners, and turned it on. While it was starting up, he installed the small device he had been given into the USB port of the computer, a gadget small enough to carry on a key ring, yet able to hold more than 120 megabytes of data. He logged into the network with the username and password of the partner's secretary, which were conveniently written down on a Post-it note stuck to the display. In less than five minutes, Ned had downloaded every spreadsheet and document file stored on the workstation and from the partner's network directory and was on his way home.
