     My computer is in my shop and no person can even see it. I have all 
my versions turned off because I retired with a good nest egg 20 years 
ago and there is no one trying to find out my information.  The Version 
Lucid 10.04 is the FIRST version to set up the default wait time to 5 
minutes, and set the requirement for a password, and use a see-through 
screen saver. This IS NEW!
