Re: Laptop Safety in Atlanta

Lo/Jack puts into in the BIOS of supported computers so wiping the hard drive wouldn't do anything to help you. Atlanta is a rough city. Keep your laptop on you at all times and don't let yourself get into a risky situation on the streets of Atlanta. I've had people come up to me and team members asking us for money. I've also had one guy show us a gun after asking me for money, but then he noted that the people walking with me were my friends and he was severely outnumbered. I feel that if I was not in a group of people, that he would have shot me and taken the $20 I had in my wallet. I wouldn't dare carry around my laptop in the streets. It's safer in the hotel safe or hidden somewhere in the room than to be on my back when I get mugged. I've never had anything stolen though. Just be responsible with your stuff and yourself, and you'll be all right.
