Thanks Larry! The CRIME group is composed of a great many members who can't make it up here to the Northwest to participate in our monthly meetings. The listserv you're on, and the CRIME web pages, which record our speakers, topics, and occasionally slides, are very important to achieving the networking that is crucial to our business in the fast lane. We value input from all the far corners of the group's reach. Stay tuned!

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.
