Hi Dark, I certainly don't want to misrepresent your position, and I do think I understand your position very well. I guess for me I'm just very concerned that you are making a bad decision based on very flawed criteria, or at the very least the perceived benefits you are looking for are too me a bit short sighted.
Bottom line, we don't see this the same way and I guess we probably never will. I am very concerned about security, feel people should take it more seriously than they do, and you are being less concerned about it than I feel is warranted. Same could be said about hardware and other things I pointed out. You don't see any benefit, fine, but that does not mean my points are not valid. It is just that you have a totally different outlook and do not value the same things I do when it comes to hardware and software. Cheers!
