Some time back an individual responded to a post and stated that he had developed a small software package that helped in laptop recovery. The package basically sent an email message to a predefined email address each time the laptop gained Internet access. I have searched the Security archives but I have not been successful in finding that message. If you have developed such a software package or know of similar products (primarily for student laptop use) please let me know if you are willing to share your code. I am putting some advising tips and links together for our incoming Fall students and would like to provide the students with better means of being proactive in preventing student laptop theft. Thanks. Bill William C.
