Crispin, I read the group's mail from here in Atlanta. I subscribed because I know the security part of the computer business has grown in importance by orders of magnitude since the world got connected. Infosec is a very hot segment in IT and will continue to grow for the foreseeable future. It's where a lot of the jobs will be. I work for an airline. As great as that is (and it is), it's a dicey proposition right now. The airline industry will continue to shake out and remake itself for at least the next five years. Job security is not guaranteed. In years past, I contracted with the FBI to perform the forensic analysis of software evidence in a criminal case. With my current "dicey proposition" I thought I might be well advised to look into that part of our business again. Poking around the web I found CRIME and subscribed. It seemed like a good way to take the pulse of security business. I have not been displeased. Thanks Guys. I hope you don't mind my eavesdropping.
