Then one has still some 30 years before where it has been different...

As I told you before, this is not true,.. you may have easily have
secured terminals where people can log in, but where they cannot e.g.
physically access such devices.

Ah quite funny... "do as I want... or I use dictatorship methods"...

It's quite disturbing when a real issue is reported, that this is

organisational positions and quite successfully push out any other DDs
that try to resist that agenda...
