It's already been happening, as far back as 6 years ago. In 1994, I
had a noted US GM's computer guru ask me how to install CB4 on a
palmtop computer. Long story (which I won't recount here) but it
slipped out during the course of the conversation that the intent was
to use the palmtop in the restroom during a game.

And, no, I won't name names. If he's still trying to get away with
this, he'll get caught soon enough without me having to rat him out.
Besides, I never *saw* the guy do it, so anything I'd say would be
hearsay. But I have no doubt that this sort of thing is happening now.
