I thought given the stupidity of releasing a software only one,
the Secure ID stuff wasn't that secure any more... or maybe that
was just "isn't insanely secure, just moderately secure"..

I know bugtraq have reported on multiple people cracking the
secureid system because they had the program..

*BSD (not 100% sure on Net) supports OTP.. they'd be nice,
but expensive processor wise I suspect..

> or maybe a magnetic card or thumb print reader ...
they look like fun.. betya Acer's one is Windows only..
