Lots of interesting stuff...I've just done a little poking and prodding, no serious reading.
3 tidbits that I found really interesting:
March 1977
Examples of this uneven nature of data distribution are quite pronounced now and will be
greatly exaggerated when the IBM storage system called OAK is added to the present IBM

Spring 1997
(D) Second, the public reaction to this new age has a direct relationship to the National Security
Agency and the way we do business. At the beginning of the Industrial Age, the public centered in on
industrialists and/or capitalists as being "the problem." Labor unions were created and child labor laws
were enacted to curb their power. In today's Age, the public has centered in on government as "the problem." Specifically, the focus is on the potential abuse ofthe Government's applications of this new information technology that will result in an invasion of personal privacy. For us, thisis difficult to understand.
We are "the government," and we have no interest in invading the personal privacy of U.S. citizens.
March 1979
COMMON OPERATING SYSTEM VULNERABILITIES
Operating system vulnerabilities general1
fall into one or more of the following seven

Quite a bit of the 90's stuff is pretty interesting...unfortunately I don't have much extra time on my hands to do some more reading.Last edited by iLLusioN; 03-29-13 at 01:50 AM.
