Good Morning, Michael. Your comment: "Just like I wonder about Norton and the other anti-virus cos. when a virus brings down some big players", caused a long standing and growing concern of mine to surface. To wit: As all facets
of world commerce and government become internet entwined and adapted, and most efficient only in their internet interface, the scenario for a catastrophic viral event and
societal disruption increases dramatically. Evolutionaraly speaking, the quickest road to extinction has
always been adapted specialization to the exclusion of generalization.
I think it is a certainty that in the not too far distant
future, a virus will disrupt and shut down the whole
enchilada. How long and how disruptive this will be is
anyone's guess, but, ya gotta believe their are legions
of smart misanthropes burning the midnight oil.
