That's the same argument Microsoft used for shipping their product with everything enabled. No joke--I once argued with a Microsoft engineer about how stupid they were to have originally had Outlook default to automatically running attachments. His answer? They had ONE customer, on a non-connected network, who used that feature to automatically deploy updates, so they just shipped it that way to EVERYBODY. Think about it: MS took what used to be an internet hoax (the Goodtimes Virus), and made it reality ... "just in case." > Cheers, > > -- > Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
