I think the firewall issue is just as common on PPC02. I personally do not use a firewall since I'm behind the NAT on my router and only use WiFi for my PPCs. I imagine someone could hack into my WiFi and gain access to my PCs but the odds are pretty low. More than likely if someone wanted to get past a firewall, they'd just use one of the common ports everyone keeps open for things like gaming or IM.

Actually, I do have WM03 on a second PPC (an iPaq, gasp) and actually tried ordering it from Dell for my X5 but their system rejected the single use number my credit card company creates. I refuse to use my real credit card number on the web. That's a much bigger personal security issue than anything I store on my PC.
