If you are sending data to a Republican led Senate Committee, it is a good idea to use a brand new floppy so that when they employ their hirelings to scan the floppy for data you did not erase, they will not find a letter in which you declared that one of their members was a scoundrel., as one woman found out... Or, if you are involved in breaking the law by sending weapons to terrorist groups, do not just delete the desktop database or you will be found out when the Congressional group scans your hard drive, as Oliver North discovered. But, we have bigger problems today with every group from the US Government to the record companies to Microsoft installing spy software on our drives...or on PC drives. --- Boycott French Kissing jackrodgers at earthlink.net http://www.jackrodgers.com
