[Rhodes22-list] {VIRUS?} Internet Storm Center

[Wally Buck]

Mark,

No slam intended, this was back in the days when Novel ruled. When he got 
all of his certification we had to order him new business cards. He jokingly 
asked me to order them listing his job title as "Computer Geek." I ordered a 
box of "real" cards and a small box of the "Geek" cards. He always handed 
out the "geek" cards. He is still a great friend, knd of funny but he is my 
only Rhodes 22 passenger to get
seasick to date. It happened on a calm day while motoring and I still love 
to tease him.

I always pictured McAfee and Norton having a secret floor with developers 
that worked on new viruses, driving Antivirus software sales. Probably the 
only thing that keeps them from doing this is keeping quiet disgruntled 
ex-employees.

I am off today and of course it is raining!

Wally
