I can't blame you. I'd note that in Santa Cruz, CA, many would consider the NY
Times a conservative publication.

I read the article using Lewis' URL. I guess I'd be vulnerable to random
tapping like that if I install a WAP. I guess every time I use a friends
wireless I'm vulnerable to such tapping. I guess they can get any password I
send over clear text. That's pretty bad.
But only the packets that go over the net are vulnerable. It would take an OS/2
hacker to get any further on my systems. I'm more worried about meteorite
damage than attacks by OS/2 hackers.
