All good points, putting aside the technical issues, I think that Erik was absolutely right, it would come down to planning, design and policy. My fear is that Rumsfeld & Co. would get their way and we would be using an access card every time we check our email online or check out a book at the library. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
