Securing Your TiBook (or Any Other Mac OS X Machine)

by Volker Weber

This one is specifically for John & Ruth:

A secure computer, it has been said many times, is one that's turned off and not connected to any network. But that could easily describe a TiBook in the backpack you just set down for a minute. If somebody can steal it, or even access it for a few minutes, they can get at your files. This article shows you how to slow them down.

What a spoiler. I intended to buy an iBook in the hope it wouldn't allow me to play with it as much as I can do with a PC. And what do I have to read now? Dual Boot? Linux/PPC? Goodbye work horse, hello latest toy :-)

Thanks - good timing that, as while we were away, we got a mesage from Gravis to say Ruth's 12" PB has arrived.

If they haven't sold it because we didn't call back, we hope to pick it up at the weekend and start setting it up!
