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

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. Joseph T.
