I went and bought a refurb Dell B120 for him instead. Then I restored my other laptop to its original, from-the-factory settings via the Dell Restore (a Norton Ghost image file). I locked the HD with a password (nice feature), set bios/system passwords, and put a lock on my room door. You are right, if other have access to one's laptop, especially an XP laptop, it's fair game to all sorts of mischief.
