Hello-
  We were sitting around discussing the keystroke monitoring
thread when the following came up: I make a full backup of
our system every week.  If I were to make a copy of *EVERYTHING*
in your office--even though I would not look at it--you would
go through the roof about privacy...but you expect and even
demand that a backup of your files be kept. What is the difference?
[Note: 'you' is generic, or are you paranoid?]

  I know our University keeps such backups, and Texas A&M posts
a banner at login directing students how to request "file
restoration."

  Your thoughts are requested... I will let you know if you're
right!!

Greg--
