nice. and then there was linda clarke talking to "the scotsman"[1] on national radio's nine to noon yesterday morning at about 11:55am.
she asked if other operating systems were more secure than MS and he said well, yes, at least they claim to be and specifically mentioned linux in this regard - to the extent of going into detail about the pronounciation of said OS - and that it was freely available, downloadable from the internet, or gettable from some computer stores on cd. his only caveat was that the installation might be beyond the capabilities of some listeners (this is true - a lot of these people are incapable of downloading a patch from MS let alone even "turning a programme on or off"). anyway the thing is he gave some good balanced answers to her questions about alternatives to MS and linux would have come out sounding attractive to those who know nothing about such things. time for another piece in the press perhaps? or even approaching linda clarke about doing an interview/piece on linux?? it seems to me that the time's ripe, irons are hot, sunshines for us haymakers, etc. etc. how would you feel about fronting for that nick? oh and did anyone else catch mr allen on breakfast this morning - what a shifty looking character he is. cheers peter [1] being paul reynolds in fact. ================================== On Tue, 19 Aug 2003 23:10:37 +1200 Chris Bayley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Who just saw Pam Corkery interviewing Paul Griswald on the MS blaster > virus on 'the last word' (TV1) ? > > blah > blah > Pam: So who should I blame - is my ISP responsible for stopping this stuff ? > Paul: Well personally I blame MS for leaving such gaping security holes > in their SW. > > > LOL > ; ) > /cb > >
