Wow Steve,

That's great news - sorry to hear that some stole a whole lab of
pc's, but great to hear that they were recovered.

We recently recovered an entire lab worth of stolen computers using
CompuTrace. It's a popular product both with the colleges and with

Subject: [SECURITY] Computer Tracking Products

Can anyone recommend any products or expand on their experiences
with a vendor that provides computer tracking services. Currently,
we have only looked at Computrace (sometimes known as LoJack) by
Absolute. They claim to have a large University presence, but I want
to make sure there aren't folks out there with better experiences elsewhere.
