    Them poor guvment agents. FBI is just trying to find excuses to get free computers for their kids.

    I'll start worrying when they start hauling out people's PS2's for fear of hacking attacks.

    Guvment: "We hear tell you got one of them cheat codes for SSX."

    Kid: "Yes, but, but..."

    Guvment: "Off we go" (hauls off the system). "See now, son, them chips can be used for missile targetting systems. Not to mention my boy Billy Joe Bob Jr. wants to play UT."

    Of course, you have to take into account these particular CDs themselves. Since no one really wants them(mass mailing anyone?), and they usually turn into experiments or coffee table centerpieces, you can understand how the AOL and IE2 CDs have evolved like cockroaches, able to withstand nuclear attacks and possibly even mold that eats plastic. :)
