Why does this client use "i"? -- They use it because with "i" they can run a
24/7 shop with zero IT staff. That right, there are no IT staff. This
company pays a retainer for support on an as required basis and have worked
this way since 1994. Never has the system failed in all this time.
Very interesting :) You got me curious - I believe that the PTF's are fixpacks for the i. What is the schematic for rolling these in? Or are these so rare that it doesn't really matter?

One of the things I have found with the i, is that it is not hardened very well at the time of installation, and that it doesn't take much effort to e.g. disable an account or put in a trojan (not that I've ever done that, oh no). Then I wonder why this shop dares to put an i to be a firewall - has it been sufficiently hardened by the retainer or is the i such a tiny niche that there is no need to worry?
