Fingerprint Scanner for Computers

I just saw APC's latest thing: a biometric fingerprint scanner. The little device called the BioPod Biometric password manager (apc.com) is only $50!

. I'm looking at one to buy

becareful, most of those only work in windows, and don't really keep your data that secure, it's not like it completly locks your computer, most of the time there is a workaround.

That would be pretty sweet -- just make sure you put it somewhere where the sensor cant get wrecked
