This hasn't happened to everyone yet, but it should provide a good warning: Think about what might happen to your user accounts and other digital junk when you die. At least do something like put a sealed envelope with important usernames and passwords (and phone unlock codes) in a safe deposit box or another secure location. It'll make things a lot easier, since whoever has the power of attorney won't have to deal with telcos or first-tier support. -- Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress There is no Darkness in Eternity But only Light too dim for us to see. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
