Er, it _is_ cloaking technology..... The real fun will begin when the nasty boys (and girls) start taking advantage of the cloak. Damned Klingons! The point that I was trying to make (and apparently failiing) was that a company with Sony's rescources should be able to do something like this either completely above board, if it was legitimate, or in a way that gave little or no possibility of discovery if it was otherwise. Neither seems to have been the case. Very poor strategic and tactical management. Entirely typical, in my experience. m ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
