That means you've to carry a funny dongle with you all the time? Or is the "second factor" that oh-so-secure "smart" phone? (FWIW, I could offer some resistance by making a point of carrying around a "classical" dumb phone, usually the cheapest I could get hold of -- f.ex. my current one doesn't even have a camera; whenever someone came up with some clever schema involving a pocket computer, I usually put mine on the table... the "oh"s and the sad faces following that moment were worth the whole thing, and usually killed further discussions ;-) BTW I'm not really a luddite [1]. I'd consider a smart phone if I had a comparable control over its guts as I have of my laptop, take or give. Those options are, alas, a tad to pricey for my current income. Cheers Just a tiny bit ;-) - t
