Please read critically before replying. My exact quote included the words "on the same computer". The article that started this thread is about protecting critical systems, not preventing people from making stupid mistakes. If you want to talk about ATC procedures or the misbehavior of controllers using unapproved devices, there's a whole separate mailing list for that. -- Brandon Ross AIM: BrandonNRoss ICQ: 2269442 Skype: brandonross Yahoo: BrandonNRoss
