I snipped out the rest of your e-mail, but I'd like you to know that I
agree with you. Unfortunately a lot of people accept the misnomer that you
get hacked because you have old hardware. They do not see that it is the
software installed, the way it is installed/updated/configured, and the
people who use it that truly matter. I do not know what we, as an
unofficial organization, can do to help counter this popular, and errant
belief about computer security.
Perhaps we can write the Inquirer about this? William, would you be kind
enough as to post the URL (on inq7.net) of this article you're talking
about? I haven't read it and would love to. :)
