    So much for "sympathy"....they need to change their name from "Bell Sympatico" to "Bell Antipatico"

    But then again...it is a Bell company....after the AT&T thing, I expect nothing less.

    See, there's the difference between America and Canada.

    We make sure that the customer's don't know when we're spying on them.

    I'm thinking of having the computer generate random keys for everything I do. That way even I won't know the key, so I will be safe from myself, all of my data will be locked down, safe, and inaccessible to anyone, even me. Let them try to get THAT data.....
