Now that last bit is almost certainly pure speculation, since, as the aps man page says, IBM has not provided any useful documentation. Who knows what a suitably knowledgeable attacker who sits patiently waiting for your keystrokes to be caught by the sensors could do with the data? Don't ask me, ask USENET. -- Peter N. M.
