>   Some companies still use the "head in the sand" mode of computer
>   security.  Until you get hit by some nasty attack from a
>   malicious intruder, you may not think there is anything you need
>   to do other than require all users to change their passwords
>   every three months.
>
>   But the world is nastier than you may imagine.  And some of the
>   worst attacks come from within!   Either innocently (Gee, I could
>   put this neat game on my PC at the office!)  or intentionally (I
>   wonder what the annual salary was for the do-nothing clod in the
>   next office?)
>
>   Our speaker has been at the forefront of computer system security
>   for many years and has numerous horror tales he could relate.
>   But he also will be providing a "wake-up" to our members to show
>   what risks are "out there" and what steps we can take to reduce
>   them.
>
>   Security is part technology and part mental attitude.  Come have
>   your attitude adjusted!
>-------------------------------------------------------------------
>Prior to the meeting, there will be an informal, non-structured
>"guru" session open to anyone wishing to attend.  This will start
>around 6:45pm in the meeting room, and we will have one or more
>gurus available to discuss whatever topics/problems/questions the
>attendees care to bring up.
