I'll leave the reader to draw his/her own conclusions concerning the "Password 
protected login" feature, pausing only to doubt its usefulness in protecting my 
data when it doesn't use any encryption, but it's nice to know they've 
*finally* addressed the telnet/FTP problem.  And just in time for a shiny new 
release, too.  I'll be the most handsome web surfer at the local cafe.

Cheers,
