In addtion, there is another similar type of alert system, sorry can't remember what it is or who makes it, but if someone steals it, it locks the system and when a person bring it to an Apple store, the Mac genius will be prompted that its a stolen system.
However, I don't know if this can be avoided if you install a new HD, at which point, a new MAC address is assigned, and I assume the system won't be locked anymore.....if this is the case, I assume it will only be catered to the idiots who don't know Mac or computing in general. |
