What next? Hackers being able to steal your brand spanking new P4 Prescotts?

Never owned a 'web cam' and never will. Bad enough that 'Aunt Martha' should see my ugly mug sittin' here in my skivvies,let alone broadcast it to the WWW!

Of all the junk commercials on TV these days,now I see one from my internet broadband provider 'Comcr*p', offering a 'free' 6 month's lease on their modem and a 'free' WEB CAM!!!

Oh yeah,,gon'na jump right on 'that' one! "NOT"...
