Max,

wow, that does make for an interesting read. I'm not sure how to react
though, so if I don't buy swann, but buy 'x' that runs from the same base
system, or if I buy 'y' that has the same flaws, but no-one has written it
up, am I any better off?

Obviously having the device on the internet has great benefits, but as you
point out this may come at great cost.


Regards

Simon
