Scumbria, Re: "NSM is not the only thing around here registering in the single digits." Now what would those be, Scumbria ... Wouldn't be your "losses", they are already larger than "single digits". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

AA LaFountain, re: Internet privacy/security/E-commerce. Lou Gerstner and Pat Gelsinger (Intel) recently projected W/W E-commerce would grow to $600 Billion by 2002. (Up from $6 billion in 1998). Both company's view E- commerce as a major force driving their enterprise solutions. At the same time: Recent polls show only 7% of users trust the Internet for transactions. Only 2% of filers trust the net for IRS filings. Visa claims 50% of total account disputes occur in the few transactions that occur on the net. Europe has implemented privacy rules that make international E-commerce very difficult. Privacy groups are extremely concerned about net privacy and have a mounted a number of initiatives with the Government. An attempt by Image Data to create a national data base of Drivers license information has met extreme resistance from the public, states and congressmen, and it appears likely this will fail. Lawmakers don't appear to have a good solution for net security in hand. What are your views on this apparent dichotomy?
