This is true. It had no cdrom floppy or network connection. My opinion of
the security ratings went down after this. If I was a professional body or a
standards institute I would not be letting anyone abuse ratings like this
but I suppose if x might give you cash you can always be a bit more
flexible. Its all bollocks.
