How long until someone fires up PC-Anywhere? Win-SSH? Microsoft SQL
server? Some program which grabs the microphone off of the sound card and
transmits it?
Provided that this is not a false report, this seals ActiveX's fate in my
mind. I don't see any way by which I can, in good conscience, let this
through my firewall.
Anyone know of any good ActiveX books? I'd sure like to work at a more
leisurely pace from the comfort of some Carribean island, and ActiveX
might just provide me with the few million tax-free dollars I need to do
just that.
Confirmations of the validity of this report would be, by me at least,
greatly appreciated.
