Brian, do you know what happens if you mis-spell 'disney.com'?
It is not a matter of whether I trust him. It is a fact that I cannot
trust everyone in the web-world to not reach out and grab him.

And yes, he uses a PC in my home office. So, he is not off somewhere
where I cannot keep an ey on him.

As for getting people you can trust. The old addage is that locks are
just to keep honest people honest. They will never stop someone who is
determined to get past the lock.
