[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1710078, member: 374272"] True. But, if they went to the trouble of acquiring my computer, they could pull the drive out of it, connect it to a different system, and bypass the firmware password, too. When it comes to security, I always tell people that they need to think of it as an exercise in making yourself a very small needle in a very large haystack. The plain and simple truth is that, if a hacker wants your data, they WILL get it. The best you can do is to slow them down long enough to know that they're trying to get in and then do something to stop them cold (like power off, update software, change firewall rules, change passwords, etc.).
