Hey it's the bosses computer, the bosses resources, and the bosses time! He can read you email or any other transmission from his property! Hardly an invasion of privacy especially if he give any notice what so ever. You have no expectation of privacy on his premises. Would you have an expectation of privacy to go naked in your office. -- Crayne's law: All computers wait at the same speed. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
