[R o b e r t W o o d]

Laptop protection:

Thoughts and ideas on:
laptop protection, software that the laptop will phone home (another computer), password protection to make laptop worthless to the lifter of goods

please reply directly and I'll compile for the group

for example - my OLD thinkpad has a bootup password in the bios.  the story line is only IBM can reset it.

  Hello all,

   

  I received a phone call this morning from a friend of mine who works for the Midland Police Department. he advised me that while working today he and other officers have taken close to 10 reports today on burglaries of both vehicles and habitations. Taken were ham radio equipment, including antennas. Knowing my friend as well as i do, he could easily have gotten CB's confused with ham equipment. Nonetheless, i am writing this e-mail to everybody just so you guys can make darn sure that your vehicles and shacks are locked up good. If i hear anything else i will let everybody know.

   

  73,

  Andrew Shephard N5RGH
