It is said that there are several Win95 programs that hide themselves and capture *all* keystrokes from the keyboard into a secret file. :-p | | > And somebody could steal your wallet and your password sheet. :) | | - alex | Eugene To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
