'Branding' your computer

'Branding' or fingerprinting allows personalised information to be
stored in part of the computer's permanent memory. It is easily
done using the Apricot Electronic Fingerprinting application, which
will start up when the computer has finished setting up Windows
95. The application will open every time you switch on, until you
enter your personal details. These details will be displayed every
time the computer is switched on. It is intended that this
information includes your name, address and phone number so that
should your computer be stolen, it can be traced back to you.
