Well, there *are* different levels of geeks with different levels of
confidence in their abilities...and being mostly homebound a PC is my
only connection to the rest of the world.

Someone will always find a way around something they find annoying ;-)
This is my home PC, no one ever uses it but me (I live alone), so the
PITA of having to type in (and remember) passwords is worth the possible
security problem for me. I mean if it's so bad, why did Firefox, the
"king of security", build it into it's code in the first place?
