Not only that, but from the descriptions of NetBunny posted here and
elsewhere, it looks like it could be VERY annoying if misused.  If one
person on campus got ahold of netBunny, (s)he could really cause a lot
of headaches anywhere on our network, from administrators to
professors to students - it would seem anyone on the Ethernet would be
at risk for that pink rabbit to come marching across the screen!

And if Eveready supported this, it would certainly not be good for
their image.
