I doubt your data is important enough for someone to want to hack your AIM
accounts. I've never had that problem using that method for over three
years. BTW, that is the *only* thing I use AIM for.

I suspect that the firewall issue has more to do with staving off lawsuits
from the likes of Sygate, Zone Alarm, et al. You saw what happened with IE
being an integral part of Windows ...

Anytime.
