Some efficient use of LED bulbs right there.

Well Jonathan Wilson was very good if not original. I caught the first few songs of the Roy Harper set and even knew one of them. He seems to have improved with age, though his inter-song monologues are just as rambling. Little Sister were great, at least what I could hear over the screaming.

XP was probably quite insecure back in the ’90s, since it wasn’t released until 2001
But yes, it feels like it was so long ago.

Good post, and good article you link to Ed. Many of my clients think Macs are somehow immune to malware – I quickly disabuse them of that notion. However, keeping Windows secure is a chore, and a real mystery to most PC users. (More often than not, I get my clients to use Microsoft Security Essentials + Google Chrome + OpenDNS: that seems to do the trick.)

I wish IT in schools were less about garish PowerPoints and more about security and actually USING the damn things sensibly. Actually the best preparation for the online world IMNSHO is learning history, if only because it helps sharpen your bullpoo detector. (Discuss)

You’re right, the list is too long. Consider it a longlist; the shortlist will be 10 but will take a long time to figure that out. Come on then, let’s have your list!

Very good Ed. Heavy emphasis on the classics. Pretty broad spread across the decades. A strict maximum of one album per band/ artist I see. And a wide spread of genres. If it was my list I’d have a maximum of 20, maybe only 10, with fewer genres. I don’t know if that would be ‘better’ or ‘worse’!
