I think the real name for it is Computrace. So any info on it?
I had a question about the Tracking and Loss Control service for IBM Thinkpads. It seems cool, as it's able to track a lost notebook and find its location. And if this kind of service enabled me to never lose my laptop, and deter theft, then that in and of itself would convince me to buy a Thinkpad.
So my questions are:
1. How effective is this service?
2. To what extent can it prevent theft?
3. What exactly does it do when activated?
4. If my laptop is stolen, what can it do to help me catch the criminal, retrieve the laptop, or get another one?
