I would say it's more like people who design the computers and operating systems that need a license to do it right. Imagine a new part of town that is built, but it lacks basic safety (security) things like stop signs, cross walks, speed limits and no rules are stated (drive on the right, look both ways, etc) When something bad happens, do you then blame the people for just not knowing better? Or do you blame the builders who failed to make any sort of sense on how to use the roads? Maybe that's bad example, but I'm sure most can see my point. -- Jacob Albretsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
