IMO point 1 is yet another reason *not* to use emacs, but let's not start

As for the ssh stuff - I thought it was just Lyttelton harbour that they
were targetting (:

Apart from the Arkansas Public School Computer Network, the 5000 hits in
my logs are from China, Japan, India and Korea.

My best cock-up lately was shutting down my lappie before going home,
forgetting that I was actually ssh'd onto the corporate webserver in that
particular terminal session!

Oops!
