    Missing eLock from Circuit City model 5102WLMi?

    Since I bought my 5102WLMi I've noticed there are several different versions of this exact model.

    For example, the NewEgg versions are different than the Circuit City versions.
    No web cam, but a faster 5400rpm HD.

    Now my question:
    Has anyone who purchased theirs at Circuit City noticed that the "eLock" feature included in the "empowering technology" utility is missing?

    The manual says that "eData security management" is "only on selected models", but it appears that the eLock feature should be there.

    Mine has:
    ePower
    ePresentation
    eRecovery
    eSettings
    ePeformance......but no eLock.

    (Nor can you download it from their site)

    Anyone else missing this one feature?

    Thanks
