Warning! - Protect Your Laptop from Theft According to the technology news organization ARS Technia, the year 2007 could be considered the "Year
of the Laptop." Laptop sales rose 21 percent last year, and industry
analysts predict that they'll exceed desktop sales for the first time in
2008. These statistics aren't surprising since laptops offer the convenience
of being able to work and stay in touch wherever you go.
If your laptop is stolen, report it immediately to the local
authorities. And if it's a business laptop, be sure to report it to your
employer so they're aware of potential data breaches. Get Data Backup Services Through Polar!
