    Well, if that's all you have, then probably best not to continue the chat with you.

    I'm much more interested in the original poster and you're spoiling his thread by being particularly argumentative.

    sorry but i dont believe in pressing ctrl and T, and tab, then typing in Mac tracking software. when if you bothered to read the thread, you would of seen it being mentioned in post number 5, 7 -with a link, 8, 9..


    but sure let me just get that info for you :rolleyes:

    and im not particularly argumentative, im just not your search function

    trace location of computer using macs built in software, get it back yourself

    chance of recovery = (how strong you are):D

    chance of you know the guy who broke into your house and stole your computer being a stabby motherf*cker = relatively high

    Why not get them to bring a few baseball bats too? It's a great negotiating tool...
