Well I can't argue with that logic, and it even occurred to me when I was
writing my little rant. I was clearly more emotional yesterday than I
should have been.
>From what I saw in the USAF, which is a big organization so I could never
have seen it all, Unix was not widespread - at least no compared to DEC,
IBM, and Unisys. I recall an strong belief that Unix was inherintly not
secure. I remember a highly placed person saying "look at the Internet -
it's proof Unix isn't secure." Anyways, that's the impressions I had when
I left the service.
