Doc.,
That is a very good point. The problem is in the fact that the "IT" made them
that way to an extent. We saw them as "stupid" users (yes there are some for
sure) and treated as such. We wear t-shirts to prove it! 

Today, a lot of these users will set you aside and begin to ask questions
about their home computer and how they can "do this and that" to fix it. The
"home" computers are helping to create an awareness of security needs at work
too. Most of the "how to" I send out is printed and taken home by them.

I guess I am just a strange little guy that believes the world can change.


thanks
Randall
