What exactly happens in October 1992? Based on what you said, if the system doesn't change, it's going to be vulnerable. But the system isn't changed now... so the systems are 'open to attack by any novice with rn and cc'. So, what's the point of saying the system will be vulnerable in Oct 1992? -- Matt
