If my doctor can't he shouldn't, if the guy mowing my lawn can't (or cuts
down too much of my garden) he shouldn't, if the bus driver can't, he
shouldn't, if all the people driving the other way on the road can't, 
watch out!, etc....  If you were only handling your own data in a sandbox,
that would be one thing; my 8 year old can drive my truck in the north
woods but nowhere else.

Look at all the people STILL infected with code red and nimda.  How sad is
it when we see something like secure.somebank.com trying to infect us with
it?

IC is **too easy** to set up (sorry Mike).  If you don't know your OS, then
should you be running a store on it?  Please do not be embarrassed about 
getting someone else to help.
