OS9 (for 6809) communication

True. In this particular case, for many people, there's nothing wrong with it. But I do think it's important that people contemplating handing their data to someone else be at least aware enough of the issues to make an intelligent decision about when it does and doesn't matter, for that user and that data. Yeah, that'll sure help calm the discussion down. ...because of course nobody ever uses a C=64 for anything for which privacy is important. Right. Really cogent argument, that. Phrased so politely, too. And to get back to the subject, there are reasons beyond privacy for not pushing data out to third parties. In particular, it's easy to lose access to that data, either temporarily or permanently, for reasons beyond your easy control. If I were playing with C=64 code, it would quite annoy me if things suddenly stopped working temporarily because some provider half a continent away failed...or permanently because some company failed. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
