From: <graham@drcvax.arpa> Subject: Andy Goldstein's security comments (was VMS, security through obscurity) Date: 11 Apr 88 11:13:00 EST [lots of stuff omitted] This crap about any well off high school kid affording a Microvax is so ridiculous as to be spat upon. I earn more now than I thought possible when I was in high school, and I still can't afford the $30k for a Microvax. I personally own a VAXstation-2000 that I paid slightly more than 10% of that amount for. It's not as rediculous as it sounds. gkn ---------------------------------------- Internet: GKN@SDS.SDSC.EDU Bitnet: GKN@SDSC Span: SDSC::GKN (27.1) MFEnet: GKN@SDS USPS: Gerard K.
