>>Now, if that strength were threatened, it would be disastrous. If that strength were lost it would be disasterous. I'm contending that this, though serious and a big inconvenience, is a non-event in the scheme of things. I worked in advertising sales at ABC during Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol scare in the late 70's. Someone laced several bottles of Tylenol capsules with cyanide, people died, and the entire country became terrified and stopped taking it. Most threw it away. The product was pulled from every shelf in the country and destroyed. Advertising was cancelled, etc. That was a much more seriously damaging event than a one-day computer outage with no data loss. Tylenol is still the leading pain reliever brand in the country.
