You can display personal information, such as your name or
address, every time the computer is turned on and a power-on
password is set. This can help you when you misplace your
computer. Because the password is set, your data is secured and
cannot be accessed, but your personal information is displayed and
identifies the owner of the computer.

The personalization feature includes a personalization editor
program to create your own image to be displayed with the text
information you create, and a personalization update utility to store
your personal data in the nonvolatile memory of your system.

Note:
For details about bitmap graphics,
see page 235.

A personalized password-prompt screen consists of two parts: the
personal data area and the background bitmap area.

The

personal data area

is the box in the center of the

screen that has a black-and-white bitmap.

The

background bitmap area

surrounds the personal data

area.
