740621 2009-01-20 13:26:00 Some time ago I read an article, on a small software item that can be loaded on a laptop as a security tracer, should the laptop be stolen.
It apparently works on the basis of reporting the net location of the machine, should the thief log onto the internet with it.
Can't remember much more about it, buit it seems a great idea.
Does anyone have a name for such softwatre and know where it can be obtained.
It seems to be agreat idea, and with several thefts of laptops in our complex, it would be good to have on ones machine.

Can't remember the name, but anyone at Harvey Norman should know. supergran (108)
