<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In the PCI Compliance world, as everywhere,
there is both good & bad....in my opinion.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Yes, most of the "standards"
being adopted are good practice, & solidly developed.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does the whole PCI issue make my job
harder, you bet. Does it "keep me employed" probably.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Since nothing is ever perfect, I guess
we just have to take the bad with the good.... & then work to improve
the ratio.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Sadly, much of what the unknowing public
sees & hears, is FUD, and we have to combat THAT </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">while at the same time we're working
to improve things.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Just my 2 cents...</font>
