Subject: Securing vanishing portables
Just before the Christmas holidays, in a typical pre-season rush of
burglaries, our flat was broken into and my very portable Toshiba
removed. My employers have replaced the machine, and the majority of my
files were backed up onto tape, so not too many problems there. But I
do resent the thought of someone else using the machine, and if they are
not too clever, getting access to my work files, letters etc. Perhaps I
shouldn't, as I have far less to lose than the (ex) Wing Commander in
the British Air-Force whose stolen pc contained (it is rumoured) battle
plans for the Gulf. Nonetheless, is there a way to prevent someone
making use of a machine, by password perhaps, that either means it is
totally inoperable, or that the hard-disc must be wiped and the machine
re-configured before it can be used? I'm using Dos 3.3 (although I have
Dos 4 also) so would really like to know of third party software that
might do the trick. My computer experts are trying to find out, but I
thought Humanist might be able to help.

Subject: Eucharist Frequency
Has anyone any ideas about the frequency of communion recommended by
the Western Church between 7th-14th centuries (especially in Britain)?
So far I've managed to find the following sources: Bede's Letter to
Egbert (734); Council of Clovesho (747); Theodulf's "Capitula" (c.800);
Aelfric's homily "De doctrina apostolica" (between 998-1005). But there
must be more.
