I refer you to the amateur statement above. It isn't amateur and this is a stumbling block people need to get over in order to embrace Web/network applications. Just because your documents sit on your disk doesn't mean they're secure from prying eyes. Your computer has network access doesn't it? Do you send emails with documents attached? Most people currently invest their trust to Microsoft. People might want to take the leap and start trusting other companies too and reap the rewards. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
