@Theeo123 Love it. I was working on an AFB network and the Colonel came up to me and pointed at one of the machines and in a demanding tone told me that I had to make it so it's couldn't in any way be hacked. So I pointed to the coax and said "Cut that wire" (I'm just a hardware guy, what do I know), so as he was trying to comprehend what I said . . .
