As my famous Grandma Frau Maria Himmelfahrt used to say:
"And when you thought it was safe to get back in the water......"
Well, I enjoyed the time in the quietness of the self-imposed "penalty box", I should do this more often, allows for a greater perspective.
Observing from the outside: "the good, the bad, the ugly".... and the braindead too!, makes it fun again!

Would you please expand on the tid-bits below, might there be something I have lost in the translation into the English Language?

****** Article # 5 ******
CC: By Tom Keating, Executive Technology Editor, CTI Magazine
Whenever I hear the word "virtual," I remind myself that it
means "not really." So, when I hear about virtual private
networks (VPNs), I'm torn. Does the virtual pertain to
private, in the sense that you needn't rely on private
networks to access private information - that you can
privately convey information and transact business over
facilities that are, in fact, public? Or does virtual
pertain to all those things we associate with the word
"private," things like security and reliability?
