LOL, my father is just entering his 60's and is forever asking me the same
kind of questions. He's always worried about some event in the firewall
log or the potential to have a virus that can't be detected, yet only uses
his machine a few hours a month. In other words he frets over the details
without understanding the big picture.
ROTFLMAO!!!! From your pedestal, would you care to share your view of the
"big picture?" Do you have that 5-figure career yet? My 'big picture' is
nobody gets out of this game alive.
Bottom line Duncan is you, like my father, need to start Googling for some
of these answers because the questions are so far out. If you both did
this I think fewer of these questions would surface because you'd develop
solid base knowledge and get a feel for what's what.
Son, I understand you are irritated with your Father. One day you will be
there also.
I do google my petty little troubles before I come to this List. Yes, I
may not be properly using google, my queries may be incorrect, and, I may
not have all the lingo down yet. The lingo seems to change yearly. I did
not realize that membership in this List now had a requirement of some sort
of advanced degree in CS.
In other words if you are a paranoid control freak then you need to READ
MORE not ask more questions of the rest of us because it sinks in better
when you learn breadth of the material rather than asking pin-point
questions in a vacuum.
Fine. I understand this. Thank you for your past shares with me. I do
understand that you and I do not share LAN setup standards and/or the
proper use of servers....... :) I will get over it........
Best,
Duncan
