Mostly true but those connected to the Internet still have to be a bit
careful ¨there.  If one has a full time fast link, you can waken to a full
drive from ¨some kiddie-smasher who filled it.  The ay to avoid any real
damage there is to ¨have your 'inbound' set to a drive that is used for
nothing else (can be a ¨mapped drive, but of a set size).
