That was beautiful :). Computer ingeniunity (sp?) at it's finest.

Doesn't really matter if it were a Mac, it could have done on other systems as well.

Good story. I wonder why the lady didn't call the police when she booted up and saw the startup logo.

<<

<< works even if the hard drive is reformatted or repartitioned >>



What? >>



Couldn't the person who took it just use a program like Powerquest's DataGone to completely get rid of the computrace stuff on the hd?

according to powerquest's website:



<< DataGone permanently erases data from hard disks and removable media. It is specifically designed to eliminate data that is no longer needed and should not be recovered by anyone else.

Benefits:

Deleted files can never be recovered by any means.

Running under DOS allows DataGone to completely erase data from hard disks, removable media and diskettes because another operating system is not writing to the registry of a computer. >>

The moral of this story: make sure you never steal anything from or tick off a nerd, because if you do, you'll have the entire world's population of nerds out after you. :D
