Recently got a new company powerbook (os 10.4), and it's made me rather nervous carrying it around with me. Is there a way to display the company name and contact info on startup? I'd like to do the same type of thing on my ibook.
I was thinking more of something in firmware that would display rather large notice on the screen for about five seconds on startup, so if a malicious somebody walked off with it and reinstalled the OS it would still be there.
What about the possibility of running a startup script in the OS that prevents an anti theft script in firmware from running (which would halt the boot process and need to be disabled in firmware)? Point of that being that if the OS was reinstalled nobody could use it, but they'd know who's computer it was.
