I'd really like to get the word over to everyone that the word is "cracked", not "hacked". You are to hate "crackers", you are to thank "hackers". It bugs me especialy when I see this sort of terminoligy in the media, such as Current affairs programs, and magazines, such as choice and computer publications. - Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
