Hi, you can use RFID tags to open your front door by adding some extra kit to the door. It's not very expensive and her ring could do it as well. I'd guess the drawback could if someone figured it out and stole the ring.

Hi, I suggest you go for the complete Novell Teaming package, its has exactly all the feature you request. IFolder lets you share documents across mac, linux and windows. Its very much like dropbox. And Teaming lets you collaborate with collegues and people on the outside (like alfresco and sharepoint but better for collaboration). And its opensource. Se this demo: http://www.novell.com/products/teaming/demo.html http://www.kablink.org/ The software is availeble on VMWARE images so you can have a demo running in no time!
