Yea and i love how MS ships with autorun default to "ON" for EVERYTHING!. Not to mention remote registry, and many other atrocities. I have a whole list of unsafe settings i have to turn off evry time i do a clean install. Of course they *claim* it's because the lemmings are not smart enough to open "my computer" and double click the CD icon (which has *some* merits) but come on microsoft, with all the other crap you ship wide open don't play coy with us! And what did ever happen to Sony for such evil malware spreading practices, a slap on the wrist thats what, filthy pigs! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
