I agree Brian, - - like I said before today and yesterday,
When I got tired of getting speeding tickets &/or worrying about getting
them, I stooped speeding!
If I am concerned about security, I can debate the legal, moral, and other
issues all day,
But if I don't say anything ugly, nasty, or that I wouldn't say to your
face, then I probably don't have a lot to worry about! -- - - -
Back to the debate of moral, ethical, and other - - it's fun and it's
wonderful, but till we get unbreakable incorruption - (128}) or greater were
just joking, - - how can the CPU & cards handle that when we have a problem
now with turning on the video causing the good audio to get chopped up???
