RE: [OFFTOPIC] Zone Alarm

["Schmehl, Paul L" <pauls () utdallas edu>]

I wasn't going to respond to that because it was so patently obvious,
but since you did, I'll append this note - I have flashed my DSL router
three times since I bought it.  I've had it for about a year.  (It's not
a LinkSys or a NetGear router.  It's an SMC Barricade.)

In case anyone hasn't noticed, you have to patch some systems almost
daily - RedHat, for example, Windows obviously, etc., etc.

Perhaps you should read security bulletins more often.

That's just two.  Should I spend another 30 seconds searching and get
you some more?

Or are you going to argue that Linksys and Netgear are "esoteric"?
