How childish. Both verbally, and by mindset. Open your eyes, my friend, Mac users don't use PC's for MANY reasons, and I would rather kill myself than associate myself with a Windows or Linux or whatever user like you.
I'm sorry we have a better OS, more power, and have a more close-knit community than you, but, it just goes to show how our computers have changed our lives for the better, and yours for the worst.

And it doesn't use SMTP, which, only works with your network settings. For 25 bucks, it's one hell of a deal.
LapCop 2.0 summary:
LapCop continuously monitors your mac's network and printer settings.
When any of the monitored settings change, LapCop goes into alert mode.
As soon as your stolen mac is hooked up to the internet via modem, ethernet or airport, LapCop gathers all necessary information for the alert e-mail. This includes the owner's name and address, the serial number of the stolen mac, its internal and external IP address and the IP address of the network router the stolen mac is connected to.
When all this information is available, LapCop sends it to our dedicated LapCop monitoring server. Our server then compiles the alert e-mail and sends it to the e-mail address you have specified during setup. Because the alert e-mail is sent by our server, and not by the stolen mac itself, it does not rely upon SMTP and the delivery is guaranteed.
You send us the alert e-mail and we will analyze it using IP to geography tools to trace the network your stolen mac is connected to. We will contact the network administrator or ISP and based on the IP addresses from the alert e-mail and the time the mail was sent, the user that was connected using your mac can be traced.
Once a message is received from a stolen computer, it generally takes a very short time to get enough information to contact the ISP the thief is using and to provide the police with the information necessary for them to recover your laptop.
wow..then you live in a VERY, VERY small world.
Everyone I know, hates Windows...even if their forced to use it, they hate it.
I wonder why?
I won't go into it now, but the point is, all of these MS haters can't be wrong.
Three vulnerabilities? Boy, that's a record. What's that up to for the year 2004? 78,962,322,505.5????
Pft. This is why I don't use Microcrap. I can't even believe people still use such an out-dated, inferior OS as Winblows.
PEOPLE: IT'S CALLED LINUX! IT'S CALLED MAC! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAKE THE SWITCH TO SOMETHING THAT WILL GRANT YOU FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS!
All I hear all the time are these people "My PC's infected!" or "I have to use Adaware!" Honestly. Micro$oft SUCKS. Point blank. Simple to understand, seeing as how they have the msot security problems on the face of the planet.
Mac's Don't have this problem. "That's because Macs don't have as big of a user base." And? Do you REALLY think that's the problem? Or is it that M$ has screwed so many people over, they're sick and tired of it and fight back...? "Why buy a Mac, it's so expensive!" You get what you pay for. You want stability, ease-of-use, and NO POP UP ADDS...use a Mac. "There's harldy any software available for it." B.S. Open your eyes and look at Macupdate and Versiontracker alone. Not to mention apple.com's store. There's something for everything. Be it open source, shareware, or commercial-ware.
Linux doesn't have this problem. "That's because no one wants to use command line, so there's few users." Right...And that's why most of the eastern government's are thinking of switching to Linux, eh? GUI's are available to Linux users. Mind you, I don't use Linux myself, but I know enough about it to tell you they don't have to worry about buying some crap software from Symantec (AKA Norton)...
So...how about people stop bitching about the problems of Virii and start using something else? It saves us all on the other side of the fence from hearing your blood-curdling screams...

Bonch, I'm in #slackers right now...I'll eat your brain the next time you smart off to me!
