Things are Getting So Weird

Maybe this is 'just' me getting old, but it seems to me that things are changing and getting weirder every day. Even simple things, like avoiding online/email/internet scams. I was around, and using computers, big huge mainframe computers, when the internet started to develop from Darpanet. I was the first student in my graduate department to use a computer, I was one of the first to have a desktop computer (it was like, 1981, I think. Dad got it for me for fun). I was one of the first to use Linux, in fact I started with something like Redhat 1.0 and Gnome 0.3. Point is I've got a pretty good background in computers, internet, detecting phishing, scams, and all kinds of other things. I've never been scammed, and because I've used Linux for so long, I'm not really aware of all the scams happening.

The Basics, I think we all know them. (From rmonnetworks.com)
