Hi,

I just read over the Getting started guide and on the leftside of the PB, there is a security hole that you can hook up to some sort of security cable to prevent the PB to "walk" away from you. Did any of you ever buy such a cable? What's your recommendation?

Thanks.

search threads before posting... some people in these forums get annoyed...

the kensington slim microsaver is great. it doesn't prevent the power cable from being plugged in simultaneously, and there is a rubber bumper that keeps the PB from getting scratched. It's a key lock, not combination.

should be around $30. I got mine on ebay for less than $20.
