OK... I'm going to agree to the point that you're never 100% secure, but
the later part of your statement implies that *every* unsecure system
will one day be hacked is more than a bit off. First of all, there are
not as many "hackers" as the media would make it seem. A quick walk
through alt.2600 groups will ease your mind... a lot of nobody talking
about a lot of nothing and asking each other "teach me how to hack".
Further, someone needs to *want* to get into your system... and why
would they?

I mean, no home is 100% secure either, even with state of the art locks
and alarm system, most homes can be gotten into with a pipe wrench and
wire cutters... or less. Still, that hardly results in all unsecure
homes eventually being broken in to, right? 

A pro will do whatever is necessary to get in (your home or your system)
if he has reason to believe it will be worth his efforts. An amateur
will take the easiest road possible. Thus, even the most basic security
measures will protect the average home & the average home computer.

Just a thought.
