Not as long as I have one more finger. I can always start using a different finger for the reader. The replication of the finger print is a bit beyond the skills of the ordinary snatch-n-run artist. Some one has been watching too much CSI: Miami. But for those one-in-a-million thiefs that used to work for the CIA or the KGB and who passed their finger print replication class, I would have to concede that when they ripped off my laptop they also got a complete set of my prints thrown in for free. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
