Imagine all the anguish avoided by no longer having to arm wrestle the network password out of reluctant administrators forced by company policy to not give it to you. Now you can just say, ``Don't get up, I'll fetch it myself.'' Or just look at WEP as the free sample to hook people on the security drug. Now that they're dependent and it doesn't work anymore they're all willing to pay big bucks for the hard stuff; IPsec, pptp, TLS, ssh. It's like a dream come true.
