The email does not contain FUD. It contains credible evidence for FUD that asks how much more productivity and money will be lost to worms and virii? FUD that wonders if the cost of changing to safer and effective alternative would be paid for by avoiding more of these episodes. FUD that points out that a couple of kids with a few hours of time on their hands are interrupting business at a major institution (and the rest of the world to boot). FUD that suggests most of the world is fighting a losing battle. Imagine a 2-page spread in USA Today with a collection of this sort of email from recognizable organizations. You could run the ad once for $50k. That would be 625 copies of an $80 Linux box-o-software. You might easily sell 1250 additional copies in the week that the ad ran. Ad paid for. Profit made. FUD created and distributed. -- Mike Mueller 324881 (08/20/2003) Make clockwise circles on the floor with your right foot; now, without looking at your foot, use the index finger on your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
