True, neither one proves anything. But it's better to assume the worst when it comes to computer security and then prove that it's not true than to assume that nothing is wrong. My point is that I haven't seen any proof that it's not true, and I actually doubt it's possible to prove it. Thus I choose to avoid Microsoft's closed system where they own the operating system, the applications software, the communications software, and the network (and if they had their way they'd be running your financial transactions too). I'll stick with a more open system that's easier to scrutinize. -- Steve Kanefsky
