Wow! This is scary stuff. I certainly get upset knowing that Lexmark might
find out that I   
actually use my printer to print, and how much.   
 
Does anyone else find it humorous, and a bit hypocritical, that an
organization that built a   
following by protecting pondscum who claimed the "right" to
invade places line Sloan Kettering   
and Los Alamos and TRW are suddenly concerned about privacy? As I'm sure
most people know, TRW   
*DOES* contain personal financial information that IS linked to an individual!
