Gotcha all beat, probably. I grew up in Salt Lake, about 4 blocks from the University of Utah computer lab, which was one of the original nodes on ARPAnet.

I saw that FIrefox flaw thing. And then I turned off Javascript. And then my webmail stopped working. So I guess I'm just gonna have the security hole.
