Yes, I agree that it is kind of a stupid policy. When you get extended AppleCare, that means that you are locked to your drive for 3 years. Sure, there are portable FireWire enclosures, but it's not as convenient as having the hard disk space internally... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] padded cell: n.

A program that limits a luser to a carefully restricted subset of the capabilities of the host system (for example, the `rsh(1)' utility on USG Unix). Note that this is different from an iron box because it is overt and not aimed at enforcing security so much as protecting others (and the luser) from the consequences of the luser's boundless naivete (see naive).
