Catproof your computer

janusz · 24 Jun 2008, 07:58 PM

"When cats walk or climb on your keyboard, they can enter random commands and data, damage your files, and even crash your computer. This can happen whether you are near the computer or have suddenly been called away from it"

You decide whether the protection is worth US$23/£13/€16/¥2630....
There is no free trial version available, and I'm not buying it

That is insane... wow...

Wonder if they get any sales?

Then again, with all the cats in America, I'd bet they could make a pretty penny... if the software does exactly what it says it does. Why not.

I can't knock 'em... I wish them luck.

I wonder what kind of algorithm they use to determine if a cat is typing nonsense on the keyboard...

Along long long time ago, I can still remember when, my daughter called me one morning and said: "Dad I have no time left on my cell phone, please talk to me on MSN"

I had no messaging software installed (and was using Linux exclusively) so I hastily installed a messaging client and logged in to MSN.

Conversion over (a few minutes later) I left the damn thing running, only to receive several nonsensical messages (over a period of time of a few hours) during the day.....

Yes.. it was the cat

lol My black cat, Smokey, is the only one of my four cats that gets on the computer desk. He's stepped on the keyboard a few times but, fortunately, has never done any damage. I don't think I'll spring for the software at any price, nonetheless.
