What, you mean someone hacking into my fridge, and turning on the ice maker?

I'm not so sure about IPCHAINS - soon, your broadband providers might not let you use it.
@Home only lets me use their web page and email from the computer connected directly to
the cable modem - not the other 4 behind that computer! Unless, that is, you pay for extra
IP addresses... to a maximum of 2 extras per cable "modem"...

Currently wondering why I can't get in to Safe Mode - where's a Mac when you need it?

All of the above...  on a household net, connected to the rest of the world
via DSL or cable modem.  OK, so does the thought of every slack-jawed hacker
wannabe looking for exploits for your fridge and microwave scare anyone
else?  Thank heaven for Linux & ipchains...
