I'm curious about something. Anyone else heard about a case where a 
worker at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories using The Web and thereby 
downloading a trojan horse to the servers?  I didnt think it was 
possible, but one of our directors swear it is true.
 
And if it IS true, how are the various Web nodes assuring it doesnt 
happen to them?  For example, I mail files back to the my ISP all 
the time.  Are they screened?
