      Meh. Unless they come up with a version that can emulate the custom controller boards in the box and that we can run airgapped from the internet it won't do a thing to reduce the risks we've got over an aging alpha box that the vendor of the system it controls wants more than my annual salary to do an upgrade that would replace it with an x86/Linux controller. :doh:

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

        The emulation probably has to put a Sleep(10) between every instruction, lest some critical timing loop in processing radar information in an ATC overreacts and thinks all the airplanes are within 10 inches of each other. ;) Marc
