In another NG, someone posted a link to an article that recommended against participating in meta-discussions. Then he contributed four of the first seventeen posts in the resulting meta-discussion. This is Usenet. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. -- Wes Groleau Oral language in the classroom—what is it good for? http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/barrett?itemid=1351

Good question.

Hmm. If so, then I really think that fast user switching and guest mode will be the way to go. > will they finally enable mailbox authentication? or stick to the naive > notion that the account-owner will be always be overseeing his toys? On the Mac, you can opt to not store your mail passwords in the Keychain. If you do that you should be prompted every time you start mail for the passwords. Maybe something like that will happen. But if it is more like an iPhone or iPod Touch where getting past the lock screen gives you everything, then this is an issue. I plan to wait and see. Although I don't share all of your assumptions about how the thing will be used or is designed to be used, I find your scenarios and concerns with them interesting. So it's wait and see for me. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://goldmark.org/jeff/ I rarely read HTML or poorly quoting posts Reply-To address is valid

Good decision on your part, Wes. You can't argue the terminally ignorant.
