Recovery

Sadly, no, Shawna's MacBook hasn't been recovered, but Ken left a recommendation for a piece of software called "Undercover" by orbicule.
Reading their "typical recovery story" is a pretty compelling sales pitch...
I remember hearing abut this when it first came out. I guess it's got a proven track record now.
(Only one caveat emptor: a sophisticated MacBook thief will know about this application and simply tape over the iSight and wipe the HD immediately. What am I saying? A sophisticated computer thief simply wipes the drive, period. Anyways.. ;)
Comments
To work around the HD formatting scenario they recommend using a firmware password.
