I was thinking that might have been true back in the 80s. Hell, I still feel that way about anything analog. It's just nothing is really analog any more. Once things went digital and encryption was implemented, things just became more of a social engineering type of hack to get people to give you the information to walk in the front door. It's not that you hacked the Gibson or anything. Also, modern systems just don't have the cool 3D interfaces that all of the systems from the 80s/90s had ;-)

It wasn't really until Windows 7 that Windows was to some degree secure as an internet-capable platform. XP was just terrible from a security standpoint until SP2 (2 years after launch), which at least added a decent firewall that was enabled by default.
