Yes I do admit it overkill and that a biometric scanner may not be the
ultimate solution nor Bios passwords would be either but there still
the fact remains that laptops will be stolen and there are lots of
dishonest people out there.
I am not in the trade nor do I condone dishonesty of any kind but
If I had a laptop you'd bet that I would keep it secure and close in my sight
at all times. We've all heard the numerous stories of laptops being stolen from
the
VA and other companies. I wouldn't want my term papers to be solen after all the
days of hard honest work that I'd put into them. Bottom line period.

grief, overkill or what ? YOU try telling all this to a new student Marc
:) Wouldn't a more pertinent point be "it may well be stolen, Point 1,
insure the beast, point 2, institute a backup regime". Get the thing
laser etched on the lid (easy, see digg.com), security concerns over, as
to data being insecure, EVERYONE on a WAN or MAN is insecure, goes with
the territory, what they gonna steal, yr thesis? Aren't you "in the
trade" ? Heck, pgp yr Word doc thesis if yr unsure
