And put it somewhere safe. <BR/><BR/>Today's Aphorism: The price of security is paranoia.Kapitanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647896216499813443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805716.post-1137796806524219552006-01-20T22:40:00.000+00:002006-01-20T22:40:00.000+00:00Remember that with a wireless network anyone with ...Remember that with a wireless network anyone with a WiFi enabled machine can see it...
