Two points: 1) It disappoints me severely that it is little more than a bad-ripoff of FOX's _America's_Most_Wanted and 2) they had a segment on about a man caught breaking into someone's system somewhere - the point being, I missed the the important details, but it seemed like he was going to be arrested for illegal access in a computer and so he skipped town - now they've got him on a TV show in order to "hunt him down". One nice thing, though, they interviewed a female who said that "they're making him out to be dangerous, but he's not that kind of a guy. He'd never hurt anyone physically and he'd rather know how to do stuff than actually do it." -BLECH!- -=> iain <=- -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- | "He divines remedies against injuries; | "Words are drugs." | | he knows how to turn serious accidents | -Antero Alli | | to his own advantage; whatever does not | | | kill him makes him stronger." | "Culture is for bacteria." | | - Friedrich Nietzsche | - Christopher Hyatt | -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
