Craig - Re: "I can't wait for the day when someone steals an Intel executive's portable and empties his bank account. " Stealing a credit card or a check book - each with account numbers printed DIRECTLY ON THE FACE of the card or check - is a much easier way that can - and IS - DONE daily - and has been DONE for years. WHERE IS YOUR RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION CALLING FOR THE BAN OF PRINTED CHECKS AND EMBOSSED CREDIT CARDS ? You are jumping into Panic Mode 1 without understanding the key technical issues simply because you feel threatened by Intel's advancing technological lead over its competitors. My suggestion - don't buy Intel's Pentium III. Save yourself an ulcer. Intel can do nicely without your business. Paul
