Leythos, David, Louise:
I do not want to do anything illegal. I am just at times not able to do
what I need to do from home, so remote access to my work computer would
be really nice. Since there appears to be no ethical way to do this, I
will not do it. Simple. But it will mean that ther is going be delays,
since I am beyond the postdoc's desire to work more then 10-12 hours per
day. Don't get heart disease or stroke for a while yet. The treatment
will have to wait for the rules <grin>.
