Do we Remember the M$ Firewall? There's only so many compilers out there (m$ use Borland)
so it was quickly decoded, and cracked.
Then the Security advice was "Whatever you do, DON'T RUN THE M$ FIREWALL" There were guys out scouring the 'net for someone stupid enough to be running a m$ firewall.
I think someone in there dreams of taking over the Internet one day... Thank goodness for GNU & Linux.
Well, you can charge them, or learn from me.
I'm in hardware. I got shingles and was flattened for 3 weeks. When all these "emergencies" rang me up, I could do nothing. They put down the phone, and made another call. None of it was waiting for me when I was on my feet. Now (7 years later) it's all dying anyhow, and I'm hung out to dry.
Lessons:
1. Don't think you're indispensable, because they can always make another call.
2. Make hat while the sun shines. It may not shine forever.
