I am a phd student in theoretical physics in germany. Saying it as it is, I did not need any programming skills that go beyond simple spreadsheet calculations until I started a semi-numerical project for my diploma/master thesis. Though I did a voluntary programming course at an undergrade stage I have to admit that I had almost forgotten everything at that time, even where my lecture notes are;)
So - as with all the stuff you teach - if you want your students to learn programming, you also have to force them to use these skills later. Give them homework they can only solve using a computer in all/most of the succeding courses, otherwise they will simply forget everything they have learned.
To my (limited) knowledge it is impossible to switch off the boot from dvd/cd option on a mac, at least this feature is hidden very well. Thereby all users with physical access and a valid installation dvd can hack your mac.

The commercial software pocket tunes (http://www.pocket-tunes.com/) supports iTunes - Palm Sync for the models
Palm Centro
Palm T|X
Palm Treo 650
Palm Treo 680
Palm Treo 700p
Palm Treo 755p
and also for Windows Mobile. So it cannot be that hard to implement this for the new palm models..
