Analogies suck, but look at (for example) Norton AntiVirus. You pay for a year of virus definition updates. Then when the year runs out, Symantec is not going to give you a single new virus definition even if there's a new worm around that dwarfs Sobig, Klez and all the other viruses put together ... I can see brand C following a similar strategy with their bogon updates. [and that's not a new thing I guess - every single virus that comes down the pike is written up in the press as the worst and most virulent virus yet] -- Suresh Ramasubramanian ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
