In the last couple of days, I’ve had two reminders of the importance of virus protection and other computer safety measures. You already know that anything remotely technological that crosses my path eventually finds its way to this column, and today is no exception. I worried at first that I am harping on the same subject too often, but if the number of virus-infected computers coming in daily to Beasley Technology is any indication, we still haven’t reached the masses with this message. So I’ll keep trying.

Our employees know I’m always looking for inspiration, so from time to time, they send me possible story ideas.
