Hi Carver.

Thank you for your post, I noticed that on wilderssecurity.com and funnily enough I didn’t think to post it here !

You are right to make us all think about the information we simply make available. Nice to see Eraser gets a mention ! What a shame there isn’t a Symbian version of Eraser for our mobile phones.

Now there’s a thought ! :lol:
