[muglo] Re: Stolen laptop

Thanks to Gerhard and Doug for your suggestions.

I had set Back to my Mac up, but I never could get it to work although  
I love the idea of being able to follow its every move.

One suggestion which I got from Undercover was to create two user  
accounts, one with no password which would have no real data and a  
second password protected one which would be the primary user. If a  
thief got into the unprotected one, they would then be on the web and  
the Undercover software, or back to my mac,  would be able to help  
track them down.

I really liked the Air and will likely get a replacement when the  
insurance money comes through. My daughter's machine (a Windows laptop  
running Vista) and she is thinking she will replace it with a mac.

Thanks

Tom
