May one conclude from the lack of any mention of another compelling use, there is none? Nothing involving some of the new-fangled gadgets, smartphones or such like, whatever? I haven't *had* a need for it that I know of, but maybe I'm just not adventurous enough? If it's more useful than its security risks detract (the book includes it for some reason (are such thin clients still in common use?)), I'd leave it. -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
