Yeah, well, wouldn't it be nice if only we had a system that would allow<br>
us to grant (possibly limited) access to specific applications by, say,<br>
issuing them a little authentication something that they could present<br>
to the authorities... we might even call it a "ticket"... but of course,<br>
not everything with access should be able to issue tickets, so we may<br>
have a ticket-granting ticket and a normal access ticket...<br>
<br>
...yeah, wouldn't it be nice...<br>

Sometimes I do feel like an old-timer...<br>

G'luck,<br>
