Cliff brought back many memories. My first TRS-80 with a cassette recorder to save work and a 300baud type 1B modem in ‘84…10 years later telnetting (showing off) with my future wife on an AST laptop. I am post Unix, but enjoyed the entire presentation. There are cautionary examples for counterintelligence and law enforcement people and for executives who don’t understand cyber.

If you could only meet ine movie star, who would it be? For me: @BruceDern He’s played good guys and bad guys. I hates his characters when I saw his movies as a kid Now, I just think he’s a phenomenal actor!

You are a CEO with critical IP that if not protected would end your business Do you allow digital devices in close proximity if it’s protected by intense physical security systems and guards?
