For the past 10 years I have been driving the same, reliable, non-troublesome car. It still looks good enough (I don’t really worry about driving an “it” kind of car). However, it is getting a bit rattly, and my friends have been increasingly giving me a hard time about continuing to drive it past the 200,000 mile mark. I never really cared much until my starter went out a couple of months ago. I wondered, what if this had happened to me while I was in a neighboring state at a client site?

There now seem to be so many privacy breaches that it is hard to choose which one to discuss…
Last Wednesday, 2/7, Johns Hopkins University reported personal information on 135,000 employees and patients on nine backup tapes were missing that had been given to a contractor, Anacomp Co. Inc., to make microfiche backups.
