Hi GM, re: those doors in the back
I've had mixed success. All of the front page links,
regardless of topic, go to the directory /news/docs/
I correctly interpreted this as the 'front door'.
I accidentally discovered a link to the direct story of
Amelio's interview at macintouch.com - its location went
to directory /business/apple/'xxxx' (file number).
Realizing that Macintouch must have a subscription, I
fugured that /business/apple/ bypasses the front door
name and password requirement.
After this, my initial logic was that you could get in
by using the section name (business, etc...) with the
topic name (apple, etc...). Thus, I was able to get ALL
of the Apple stories from SJ Mercury. Success!
Subsequent attempts to use 'any' company name have yielded
null results. Next step of logic thought that company name
must refer only to companies listed in the specific edition.
Went to front page, found TCI, applied theory. No results.
Final analysis: so far, I can get all the Apple stories, but
that's it. However, where there's a Bill, there's a way.
Will continue.
Additional comments: SJ Murk is not a serious security
situation relative to, for example, Charles Schwab. If a
relative idiot like me can get in partially (in about 10
minutes), I assume that the rest of the way can be had by
trial and error. May reconsider if the time vs. benefit
ratio declines substantially.
