When I worked at Sun as a contractor in the early 90's they did this to all
their internal machines as well.  Rumors ran rampant that a lot of people
were taking the old systems home instead of turning them in because of 
this.  At the time Sun didn't do much in the way of property tracking, so
it was easy for people to get away with.  

I suspect a fair number of the older systems still floating around out
there came from Sun originally.
