we've been seeing this for what? 20 years, now? even m$ operates in the mind set of "a pretty interface trumps (unseen) sickness and disease" al la "yeah, i'd hit that unless someone tells me it has an STD... even then, i still might hit it" al la "we've redone the GUI to make it prettier but the seedy underworld of skiddies and hackers can still get in thru the same holes they've been using for the last decade" :lol: :angel_horns: -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
