Thanks Casey,
I'll have to check that out when I get home, The subject line sparked a
thought in my head that is on topic. After my brothers laptop was stolen
over the summer, I put Prey (http://preyproject.com) on our laptops.
While my laptops never been stolen, and its not a bullet-proof method,
I'd like to think it'll be useful when/if the time comes.

That from here on out, nature stops deciding who survives and who
doesn't, but our own decisions?
