Hey Fergie,

I heard it was an unclassified email system..and they had to take down 1,500
email accounts (not whole computers).

This would explain, some parts of the AP story that was posted by Larry. The
references to blackberry and asking Gates if his e-mail was affected. But it
is possible that the issue goes beyond the e-mail accounts..
