(WOMENSENEWS)--As Sherri Peak ran errands in suburban Seattle, she
often saw her estranged husband in the rearview mirror of her Toyota
Land Cruiser. Robert M. Peak showed up at her Bellevue business, at
restaurants, at shops in downtown Seattle, and at the homes of
co-workers.
...
When police searched Robert Peak's home, they found Sherri Peak's
e-mails, including correspondence with police and her divorce
attorney, and the spyware program he had used to obtain them.
...
They found passwords and account numbers he had hacked from her
computer.

I would have categorized this message as, "One more reason not to
marry a nut-job." Clearly this guy is a psycho, but this problem
speaks volumes about the judgment of this woman when it comes to
picking men. Maybe this is another reason to run Linux after all. If
you ran Linux, you're more likely to meet and marry a geek and geeks
make great spouses (I'm too lazy to find the link to the slashdot
story on that factoid).
