Subject: | Smart Frames the last. |

changed my mind about frames slightly. I think that they CAN operate
without a connection to the deck. BUT I do not think that they may
perform system functions. Reasoning:
Frames are viral constructs. What would a frame need a deck for.
It fits with their explanation better that they may be autonomous.
Even smart frames are not going to be able to get around
simple Security measures to perform system functions.
But, as I said earlier, programs could be written to place
in frames that would allow them to perform limited
functions, downloading being the most prevelant.
For those of you who agree with me (Yeah right!),
I think I will work of this and see what I can come up
with for these programs. These programs could be used
by deckers who would rather use a program to download
than using the system function. The automatic idea
that comes to mind is to make the program degradable
because of the increase in security which is constantly
occurring. Ideas?
