Oh - I have an idea, or maybe there is already a utility for this. How about some more security features on a RIO. Maybe some small utilty that forces one to re-produce a series of button pushes to 'unlock' the player before it can be used, kindof like a user defined password but using the rio buttons for the sequence. It would be a pain to have to do that every time one wanted to turn on the player and listen to music, but it would assist in keeping idiots from using them when stolen.
