ARGH! Do I need to explain myself again?? Here is a summary of the points I 
made in several earlier messages:

1. Idiots who want to play with my calculator CAN, so I don't have to listen 
to them all day/week/month/semester/year

2. To protect my friends from themselves, and, more importantly, me.

If you're still not clear on why this is a desirable feature, either AIM me 
(ZeromusMog) or get me on ICQ (27955628). Just don't expect me to be paitent. 
:)

While we're on the subject, I've always wondered: what's the purpose of 
"shell bolt"? (This applies more to DoorsOS on the 89). Why would you want to 
keep someone OUT of the shell, but rather in an inheritly dangerous position 
where they have total control over the calculator? Is there some missing 
application for it that I can use to keep my sanity while someone else is 
using my precious calculator?
