Hi Wayne:
	I have been hearing this story for years but don't buy it... I'm not even sure they are 
good enough to pull it off.   ;-)    I still remember Bill Gates getting TBSOD on live 
global news while releasing a new operating system.   ;-)
	Using an outdated operating system (98 SE) probably would exempt anybody from such 
concerns. I can't say as I can blame them for wanting to guard stuff they are currently 
selling, especially new releases.
