Whew! Orientation has started! We're running around trying to help all of the parents and students with selecting and setting up new laptops.
One thing I am trying hard to get going is Computrace. This is a product that students have already installed in their bios (with the recommended Thinkpads and many other models) or that they can install in their software. Once it is active, if their laptop is stolen and used anywhere on the internet, there is a 80% chance it can be recovered! If it is not recovered, the company (Absolute.com) will give them $1000 or the value of their computer (the lower of the two).
The current 'hitch' is they want us to take in the fees from the students, then send them one big check. We're trying to figure out how to do that. It will be around $67 for three years (no one wants to steal a four year old laptop, right?).
