Computer Theft Rampant


Brigadoon Software

Terrance L. Kawles, president of Brigadoon Software, said:
      "Computer theft has reached epidemic proportions. Over 1.6 million computers have been stolen in the USA in the last three years alone, and worldwide statistics are proportionally similar. According to the BSI Computer Theft Survey, 53% of computer theft occurred while the computer was mobile (moving about), rendering cables, locks and enclosures virtually useless. MacPhoneHome provides a simple, inexpensive security solution that offers high probability of tracking missing computers and pinpointing their locations anywhere in the world."

Brigadoon Software, Inc. has rolled out version 3.0 of its MacPhoneHome(TM) tracking and recovery software. The innovative crime-fighting product helps protect Macintosh computers from theft and assists in their recovery if lost or stolen.

MacPhoneHome currently protects over 450,000 computers in 40 countries worldwide. It is easy to use and install on a Macintosh computer using Apple's OS X operating system. If the computer is lost or stolen, MacPhoneHome sends a stealth email containing the computer's exact location to a pre-determined email address of the user's choice and to Brigadoon Software's worldwide monitoring and command center. Once notified of the theft, recovery agents at Brigadoon Software provide full technical, tracking and recovery support to the customer and local police.

"The release of MacPhoneHome Version 3.0 offers individuals, companies, schools and government agencies an outstanding theft deterrent solution for Macintosh computers that delivers a world-class answer to the ever-increasing computer theft problem," said Terrance L. Kawles, president of Brigadoon Software, Inc., developer of MacPhoneHome. "Also, given its extremely affordable pricing, everyone can afford to have MacPhoneHome protecting their Macintosh computers, whether they have 1 or 100,000 of them."

New features in MacPhoneHome Version 3.0 include:

Version 3.0 Tiger Compatible; Provided as Free Upgrade to Current Users

MacPhoneHome is compatible with all Macintosh OS X operating systems, including the soon-to-be-released Macintosh OS X - Tiger. In addition, Kawles, indicated that Brigadoon is providing Version 3.0 to all of its existing customers as a FREE upgrade directly from Brigadoon's website.
