"Eades hopes the TheftGuard logo--which could be presented in a
visible place on the laptop--would itself deter thieves. By
installing protection at the BIOS level, the standard process of
reformatting or replacing hard drives won't work. The machine, then,
is virtually useless to any thirds party (unless, of course, they can
stay off of the Internet)."
Of course, if you're trying to steal data, you're probably not going
to put the machine on line right away...
