Hi! Jean,   
      
   On Tue, 21 Dec 10, you wrote to me:

   I'm still looking for the canoe!  ;-)  You haven't been spying on our weather   
   website have you[rhetorical].  We're in the midst of a biblical 40 days + 40   
   nights of rain at present.  Our backyard is like a rainforest and we have a   
   semi-permanent creek flowing from the back fence, going under the house and   
   down the driveway.  When I walk around the backyard my 80-something kilos   
   still doesn't get my feet onto actual 'ground', as I end up padding around on   
   a carpet of grass where mere months ago it was a clay pan with long deep   
   cracks after our drought.   
      
    JP> If the PW is on the HD, the stream will get you !   
      
   Seen.  I've read your dissertation on the matter many times.   
      
    JP> Your Police PC obviously did not have a PW protected HD.   
      
   Nope.  It's not mine any more as I resigned back in July.  It was my   
   Sergeant's PC anyhow, and he was looking over my shoulder at the time.  He'd   
   never seen linux-anything before so I offered him a demo; first words, "damn,   
   it's fast!".   
      
   I cheated a bit as I already had a 'settings file' on the USB stick for our   
   machines (one file suits all as they are clones); I had tried to hunt down a   
   report written by another off-duty officer a week prior, so, the boot skipped   
   a question or two.  (IIRC, the latest Puppy doesn't even ask questions on the   
   first bootup.)   
      
   It's a pity I didn't hang-in longer as the Service was about to introduce a   
   swipecard PC access system.  The keyboards already had the hardware.  We were   
   just waiting for the cards to enter service, after already having had our   
   photos taken (they're intended for any type of access, even building   
   security).  That might have been a bit tougher to get past.[shrug]   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
