Any system, secreted away or not, is vulnerable if the person that is attempting to get in to it is determined enough and has enough time. Then again, there is always the one computer that most of us forget about but none of us can live without, the Brain. However, given the advancing rate of science that will not be that secure for long! :-) -- Thanks, Tom Sapp http://www.sappsworld.com
