I emailed about an installation question and got a complete reply plus a suggestion that was helpful within an hour. I'm impressed!

....and I haven’t tried it, because to see it working one needs to register and I know from similar offers how difficult it is to get your money back once you’ve parted with it.
Simple scenario I’m wondering about: if I’m a thief and just got my hands on a brand new Powerbook, would I enter my true name and contact details in the user account? LapCop I’m told sends an email compiling that data and others, such as IP and ISP, to the software provider... and it does that once the network settings change. If a thief doesn’t know the password, wouldn’t he install from the MacOS X installlation CD next? What good is LapCop then? Is a Powerbook stolen for the software or the hardware? Even if said thief gets online... what if he’s sitting in Bryant Park (free online access in NY) or at Starbucks? What good is that IP/ISP?

upon Apple's e-mail internet preferences. Even if the thief does not simply change these, many ISPs block users from using other companies SMTP servers. For instance, if the thief logs on using one of those free AOL CDs you will never get a warning e-mail. Some mail service providers offer alternative ports to guarantee SMTP service even when it is blocked, but there is no place in the built-in internet preferences to specify port settings.
