Hey, no need to post the same message 3 times!

I'm not aware of anything that will do that. The only protection (I think)
you can get is to set a password in the security preference. At least,
that's what NOS 2.0 has, but I don't remember if NOS 1.x Newtons had this
feature as well. If you do, you can select how often you will be prompted
for the password, like everytime you turn your Newton on, or once a day,
etc.

farming n.: [Adelaide University, Australia] What the heads of a disk drive

Associated with a crash. Typically used as follows: "Oh no, the machine has
just crashed; I hope the hard drive hasn't gone farming again." No longer
common; modern drives automatically park their heads in a safe zone on
power-down, so it takes a real mechanical problem to induce this.
