Subject: Some one scurrying around on one system

Someone scurrying around the internet with one system and an organization
providing massive services cannot be compared security wise.  I mean Sun,
Yahoo, Netscape, Amazon provide massive amounts of services and features on
the internet.  You can't possibly say that a lone little Linux system
running
nmail(pine?) and netscape and no real services is any kind of security risk.

Having run and protected (tried) like JP Morgan, Prodigy etc. the services
and vulnerabilities really start to escalate(Word, Outlook, Lotus, exchange
etc).  And 100 of thousands if not millions per hour are pulling and pushing
services to their limits.

It really is mind boggling the information that is propagated along the
Internet, China alone is growing at 10,000,000 users a year.  God where is
there growth like that in any other industry? No wonder microsofts makin'
so much money, they said there are 1,000,000,000 users on the internet and
is 90% of that on MS?
