To reply to all that posted so far. I did see that it requires physical |
| 18 |
access, like a lot of other things. Once a person has physical access, |
| 19 |
there are a number of things that can go wrong. |

It does seem to be one of those things that while possible, has anyone |
| 22 |
been able to do it in the real world and even without physical access? |

| 26 |
secure from what I've read but Linux is better than windoze. |
