Ever heard of SYSTEM CRASHES ? If you develop software, and want your source
code to be safe from prying eyes (well, I don't, I give my code away, but I
know people who do...) you damned well shut your macintosh down (although
not intentionally) without locking the disk ! I have crashes thet MacsBug
can't handle by the score every week !

So, APPLE, why don't you run along and give us protected memory ? Huh ?
(Hmm. I could write an INIT that patched the trap and OS dispatchers,
and run all my Apps in protected mode. Hummm. GM: I smell a Quest ! :-)

Happy Hacking
