Lets see if this get posted ???
They have been putting GPS's in servers for a while now, not sure how
many are out there, because
Of homeland security I guess..
The point is when you connect to a server you got the gps loction,
unless you dialup
Though a land line long distance to a remote server, then the GPS
location wouldn't be accurate, but
Most people dial local access points.

Well, it looks like 'Trackit' would do what Bill is wanting.
I guess I was going along the lines of being able to GPS the laptop -
and track it real-time. A bit of a different direction.
