<Paul, you must feel pretty silly sitting on that pile of feces now that Intel isn't recommending it any more.> Uh, Craig, the feature is still there. It just isn't enabled by default anymore. If Intel removed the feature altogether, you'll have a reason to flame Paul. But the feature still exists for people who don't have a Big-Brother-phobia. Tenchusatsu

Craig - Re: "you must feel pretty silly sitting on that pile of feces now that Intel isn't recommending it any more. How's your ulcer? " No - not at all ! I'm amused at how so many people latch on to one issue of "potential privacy compromises" and yet ignore the hundreds of existing, REAL privacy invasions that exist in every day life. The use of the INTERNET - and privacy - is the most bizarre. For those who are so overwhelmingly paranoid of this issue, the answer is simple - STAY OFF THE INTERNET. Anyhow, Intel closed up $1 3/4 and that is pretty amusing - to say the least ! Paul
