The thing I wonder is whether the variation in drawing ones sig with a mouse is sufficiently bounded to be able to detect a definite difference from someone ELSE drawing your sig. I know even with those pen-driven graphical devices you find in stores now, my sig looks like a two-year-old drew it, and I'm sure there's considerable variation in my own ability to draw it. A mouse is even cruder and harder to "draw" with accurately. ~~~~related topic~~~~ There was a little-seen movie with Patrick Stewart, where he had a computer with a graphical "password". IIRC, he had to re-arrange the pieces of a sort of graphical puzzle in a short time span (or all hell broke loose). -- |_ CJSonnack _____________| How's my programming? | |_ http://www.Sonnack.com/ ___________________| Call: 1-800-DEV-NULL | |_____________________________________________|_______________________| .
