- I'm looking for a simple to use security device for a PowerBook 100. Not
- something to stop a professional with tools, just something to delete temptation
- from otherwise honest folks with slightly sticky fingers.
-
- There was a brief review of one system in MacWorld. If anyone has used
- it, I would appreciate comments/mail order sources.
-
- I tried buying the PowerLock manufactured by a company called CMG(?). It
- looked OK at first, but was too large for the PB100, and the spacer it came with
- was too small to compensate. This could be just a quality-control error.
- The store manager couldn't make it work either and he eventually pulled them
- from the shelves when he convinced himself that they really didn't fit.
-
- Thanks for any help!
