If employers' computers and accounts are being used the employer has every right to insist that employess are focusing on company related activities during working hours. Most employers, I hope, would not object to employees using the equipment/accounts after hours since this wouldn't add to the overall expense (would it?). Obviously, employers have no business interfering with their employees as far as *private* IP accounts accessed from home is concerned. Ingrid Shafer [log in to unmask] & [log in to unmask]
