		  So, it was Robert T. Morris Jr., was it?

	    To quote Robert "Beaver" Morris' older brother Wally:

	   "Boy, Beav, you're really gonna get it now!" :-) :-) :-)


I believe the contemplated charges are 'unlawful access to a federal computer'
(multiple counts?) and 'fraudulent use of a federal computer'; the second
charge is good for twenty years hard time, the first for up to a year and a
$250,000 fine.  Pretty heavy stuff for a 23 year-old Cornell grad student.
