You can display personal information, such as your name or
address, every time the computer is turned on with a power-on or
hard-disk password set. This can help you when you misplace your
computer. Because the password is set, your data is secured and
cannot be accessed, but the personal information is displayed and
identifies the owner of the computer. The Personalization Utilities
include the Personalization editor to create your own image to be
displayed with the text information you create, and the
personalization update utility to store your personal data in the
nonvolatile memory of your system.
