Hello, This is a PR stunt, and I would suggest people treat it as such. In addition to angel investments in security companies (and a few non-security ones as well, such as a fetal heart monitor), Mr. McAfee has a large number of media projects under development, including a biography being written by George 'Boston' Jung , a graphic novel about his time in Belize being done by Chad Essley, a movie and a TV show from Impact Future Media (the latter has already been picked up by Spike TV, a US basic cable TV channel) and a voice-only role in a SF movie. No doubt when these various projects arrive in 2016, they will receive far more media attention than they otherwise would due to Mr. McAfee's "candidacy."

And, even though Donald Trump is proving to be amazingly resilient in theprimaries, I doubt that there will be much support for someone as seriously loonieas McAfee. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy. - Friedrich Nietzsche victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade
