[ale] Security awareness for beginners - the novel

[J.M. Taylor]

This is a re-post, since Bruce pointed out that most of ya'll are trashing
the M$ thread.

And in answer to Bruce's question -- yes, of course it's free for the
taking if you think it'll be any use to someone.  It is beginner level,
and my first stab at security presentation for non-IT people, so all
feedback is much appreciated.
