List,

A while ago I had to re-install Win98 ; for the first time, I decided to fake 
that I had more than one user and require password.
     Since then, I had to use Win98 only twice, and in both occasions I 
dutifully entered my password.
     This afternoon,  I wasn't paying too good attention to the booting up 
procedure and found myself in Win98 rather than S-7.3. I was about to enter 
the password when, in a moment of inspiration, I decided to click on Cancel, 
expecting the process to come to a halt until I entered a valid password, as 
it happens in Linux. To my great surprise, the booting up proceeded 
normally, and I had full access to all programs and data!!!
     What's the point of having to enter a user name and password, if it's so 
easy to bypass it?
     I hope you're all laughing at my naïveté. I did laugh a lot!
