BTW, if we thought the M$ was the mother of all FUD, well, let's just say Homeland Security is the father of all FUD! Dud everyone catch the statement made by a senior official of the organization last week? He said" technology going forward is going to _increase_ risk". His rationale was that single people would be able to cause more damage. Guess he missed that technology, properly applied, is a huge fact in _reducing_ risk. Oh wait, maybe he can't comprehend "properly applied". Sigh. -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
