Nah...I'm working on a security solution I saw in a
James Bond movie once.
Basically, if the password is entered wrong more than
twice, or any of the ram cards are removed while the
login screen is active...the Newton blows up!
But it's really hard now, with Homeland Security and
code orange, to get any appreciable amount of Cemtech.
And most other incindiary products are too bulky to
fit comfortably in a Newt...;-)
