On my dell laptop the agent is built into the bios. It appears to phone home about once a day. There account website requires IE 6+ to access. My laptop has never been stolen so cannot speak to how well they do or don't recover. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Stephen P Rufle Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 9:14 AM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: OT: I've Been Burgled! http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/ Has anyone actually used this. I only found out about it after I bought my last laptop. Seems to be good for cars, but for a laptop how easy would it be to turn it off or find whatever makes the signal? Otherwise I after hearing about Tuna I am thinking this would be cheap insurance for the aggravation I know I would suffer if some one took my computers. Tuna if you need to borrow a laptop for some period, I have a Dell D600 I could let you borrow till you get a new one. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
