Would you buy a car that could be stolen with a screw driver because the locks are crummy? Would you buy a new car that required you to drive to a locksmith and replace all the locks with ones that work? I don't think so. If the car is built to be stolen no one would buy it until the locks worked and the security was upgraded. Cars now come with alarms and more secure keys and are less frequently stolen. A software client should demand no less. -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
