I thought it was interesting to see Microsoft bought Firefly, a security software company designing around "agents" which is something new coming out of Java, also known as "Aglets". It looks like this will be an interesting direction in the future. Do you here anything about this area? I can see a guy in charge of buying security has really got his career online if they get seriously hacked. Probably is job protection to by a standard. You don't get any awards for not geting hacked. You only get dumped on when it happens. If you go to your boss and say I bought the best standard, what can he say? On the other hand, if you bought an off brand and got hacked, you're sacked. I'm also interested in Axent. Raptor sure seemed to lead the pack reviews, but Checkpoint got the better OEM agreements and have built a very reputable business. Still, I hold both companies and my Raptor investment has soared since joining Axent. Regards, Mark
