Yeah, I saw that, too. I'll bet/guess it is a British "billion" (10^12) and not an American "billion" (10^9). Not that I believe the number in any case. My own figures say it is more like $200 and, thus, Gene Spafford remains correct that we spend more per capita on coffee than infosec. --dan _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list FDE@www.xml-dev.com http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
