Thats a good argument, though it only counts on WIN 95 machines, which I  
have. Floppy boots are disabled here and the bios is password protected, so a 
 
change requires a correct password or a screwdriver. N is also set. But I  
guess by the time I need it (when my daughter is old enough to use my  
computers on her own) I will not run win 95 any longer. :)
