If you want to fear that the government might invade your privacy, I'm right there with you ... except I think you've got the wrong government. Remember that when gmail was hacked a bit ago it seemed most likely that China was behind it. Supposedly some of the best hacker teams ... yes, teams, not single individuals, but a coordinated 24/7 group effort ... are located in China and Russia. Or so I have been hearing. I try my best not to make my computers or my cloud access accounts an easy target. But if there ever was some bizarro-world reason for them to target me, I'm sure they could find a way in. :-( You ever been inside the NSA?? I was, 3 decades ago for a job interview. It reminded me of how much of a hassle it is to do renovations in a highly classified space. Makes it inconvenient as all get out to upgrade their infrastructure. I trust they have done updates since I saw the building, but I also suspect of lot of it still looks much the same as when it was built. The NSA ... like most organizations ... is a lot more "only human" than I think most folks realize. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
