Amen ... and ...forget about "ideal environment" ... it won't necessarily be
effective in *any* environment except the
"network-comprised-of-a-single-computer-that-nobody-uses" (tm). These people
clearly haven't heard of notebooks and the concept of people using them
outside the network (say, at home).

These are the same folks who patted themselves on the back all Monday night
for protecting their networks ... until people started plugging their
notebooks into the network on Tuesday morning ... oops ...
