I don't know anything about Steve Gibson or what him liking it means,
but I'm listening to Steve's podcast now (since I got a 60GB iPod as a
Christmas present from work...) and he is *very* glowing about the
program. 

I don't know how much I trust someone who says "Alex is up in Vancouver,
so he has a .cc address." though. I'm not sure what ".cc - Cocos
(Keeling) Islands" [1] has to do with Vancouver.

(Yes, this is a jab. No, the comment in the podcast has nothing to do
with security. However, it still slightly worries me when that kind of
comment is made...)
