I’m one who believes that the issue of virus’, spam, intentional malware, bot nets, etc, is a problem that will only be solved in a world wide, backbone based solution.

Until that happens, as if, we’ll keep paying to inundate ourselves with layer, upon layer, of ever more expensive, so called, protection.

Much success on the new gig. :)

Thanks—it promises to be quite interesting. I’m here to convert a windows-centric shop into a linux/unix shop.

Oh, heck, that’s not a job, it’s a crusade! :)

If you have any user backlash, just load up Compiz, and give ‘em wobbly windows, and a translucent cube for their baby and doggie photos. LOL
