| 39741 | 2002-03-19 06:12:00 | I'm wanting to know is there a cheap program some where for pc security. I'm wanting to stop my flat mate fiddling on my new $4000 computer. I don't want to use the bootup password option in the bios setting. I live in christchurch Thanks for any help |

Just pop out your ram chip(s), to stop it from booting up & just pop them back in when you want to switch her back on. It's sneaky? Yes It works? Yes Your the coolest kid on your block? Yes Cheers, Daniel |
