If I wanted to protect my mona lisa, I would encrypt it and put the key in the first 640k where I can be sure the BIOS wipes them :-p Unless of course... - somebody takes the chips out and has an adapter where he can read them without any BIOS messing - somebody forgets to disable FireWire, then I can fetch the RAM contents without cooperation of the operating system because all devices have DMA host access ;-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
