Back when Netscape first came out, I was bitten when a "selfish" plugin changed my system's defaults without me realizing it. Ever since, I do NOT want a remotely acquired program to be able to access the local files in my system. [The "nobody" user was invented to limit access.] I'm willing to mess with my local files myself. But if a program from who-knows-where might mess with my local files -- I'd rather deny myself whatever experience that program is supposed to bring -- rather than chance having that program change how I have set up my system to run. > Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/air/ for examples of AIR > applications you can download and run. I did. Nothing there looks like something I can't live without. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
