A buncha technically clueless newsgeeks brought infected micro$loth computers into a convention? Shocking! What's this world coming to??? Sounds like Verizon hired low-end netgeeks if they had to bring the network down to find these infected computers. I must have dozed off. What did Verizon have to do with the NANOG meeting? tisk-tisk-tisk Verizon. MCSE != good netgeek In fact, almost all the time, the two are mutually exclusive, disjoint sets of people... And sometimes "orthogonal" comes to mind. And sometimes "congruent" does. -- Requiescas in pace o email Ex turpi causa non oritur actio http://members.cox.net/larrysheldon/
