Wow, that's a new one for me; never saw that one before. Guess I've been lucky to never have this go bad, but then again I have no opinion on the Honda Asimo either. But a robot to get the paper in the morning or mail--you know, like on the Jetson's (what was the robot maid's name?)--can't be all bad. Heathkit made robots? I remember them as cheesy stereo kits back in the day. Anyway, AppleShare PDS is invisible for security perhaps? If so couldn't someone just trash the Users & Groups CP and Data prefs and/or File Sharing CP prefs to delete user access? -David -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
