Sure, like you're all going to read this. Like it really matters who the blazes I am! Like any of you are going to remember me, anyway. Well, it's not MY list, so I really should abide by the "rules", whatever I may think of their usefullness. So, that being said, let's talk... I am Mike, and Mike means Me! (can anybody give me the source for this loose quote?) I am bringing up a new ISP - Medio Multimedia's MedioNet! Medio Multimedia has been producing award-winning CD-ROM titles for a bit now. And now for something completely different: The hybrid realization of MedioMagazine (the worlds foremost General Interest Magazine on CD-ROM) merged with the Internet. Anybody wants more info - eMail me! Suffice it to say, as part of this Grandest of Plans, we are bringing up a very sophisticated Internet Services arm of the company. As such, we have the same concerns as the rest of you - providing highly available services for our customers. This neccisitates being overly concerned with the security of our systems, especially since a good portion of them exist on the OUTSIDE of the firewall! So, by joining this list, I hope to sponge all the knowledge I can off y'all in the shortest amount of time. The goal being, of course, to become an expert myself, so that I may return the favor to the multitudes who are to follow (and who, by the number of INTRO emails I've received over the past few days, grow significantly each and every day!). OK, there. I did it. Not that anybody really cares, but what the hey! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Mike Godsey mgodsey@medio.com | | On-Line MIS (206) 867-5500 x286 | | Medio Multimedia, Inc. | | Redmond, WA | | <A HREF="http://www.Medio.Net/users/mgodsey/">Mike Godsey </A> | ------------------------------------------------------------------
