AlMac Thanks You
In the criticism and discussion of my effort to create articles such as Computer security audit, you suggested that perhaps I should start my own Wikibook.
 * This is an area of which I am totally ignorant and could use a link to some explanation. Some time ago I did have a Blog, in which I thought the pricing, and tech support, quite reasonable, but I had a series of disruptions to my personal time, combined with several PC melt downs, and I never found the time to reconstitute and restart that effort, which was fun, but not an optimum match to my interests.

 * Thanks for your answer to my Talk page. More stuff for me to study.  It may address another point that I had not yet raised ... the question of citing sources.  I have been in the computing profession for over 40 years.  I learn from many sources, apply the lessons, try things out, see what is practical, get standards from different places, combine them with needs of workplace of the moment ... point is that a great deal of what I know comes from 40 years of experience, not from book learning where I can cite how come I know this or that to be true.  I know it because I have seen products on the marketplace, gone to computer conferences and seen them demonstrated, been in discussion forums where the pros and cons of competing products are aired.  I write in about a dozen different computer languages.  I know from experience that some are vastly superior to others for certain tasks, yet incapable in other areas.  For example, I been programming variations of RPG for I'd guess 30 years, and SQL for only 3 years.  I think SQL is vastly superior to RPG in many areas, but I still use RPG because there is stuff it can do that SQL cannot do, and I have been to IBM seminars where I specifically named processes and asked if I was missing something.  No, SQL cannot do that.  So I know an awful lot from my career, in which citing how I know this or that to be true, may be impossible. AlMac 8 July 2005 18:50 (UTC)
