Just a quick question. What do you guys do when you have to leave your laptop at the repair shop? Do you create a new user for them, you give them your user and password and hope for the best, ask them to use a live CD? What?

Remove the HDD. Otherwise they might get the idea to wipe it or something equally stupid. If you are concerned about privacy then creating a separate user won't make much difference long add they have the hardware. Tom
