Interesting story. THis happened about 16 years ago, when Dr SOlomon's Antivirus Toolkit" was the premier product in many countries. I went to my 10-yo daughter's school pantomime, which was very good. As we left afterwards, a little gorl came up to me and said "I know who you are!" "Ah," I said, preening a bit, even an under-10 kid know me! "You're Angela's dad." Ever since then, it's been a family joke, whenever I get a bit big-headed, I get reminded who I am. "You're Angela's dad". Epilogue. So, when Angela graduated, we went down to her uni as proud parents to watch the ceremonies and congratulate her. Afterwards, there was a cheese-and-wine do at the English Literature faculty, and she dragged us along to that, too. And a guy came up to me at the party, and said "I know who you are". Yeah, yeah, I thought, been there, done that, I'm Angela's Dad. "You're Dr Solomon, wrote the Antivirus Toolkit". Apparently, he'd been one of the people who resold the software to end-users. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
