Hope I selected the proper place for this posting.  For some time now, I have been receiving this security podcast.  Must admit that over 95% of the information is way over my head, but it opens my mind and keeps me informed on what is happening.  Don't know why I waited so long to post this information.  Hopefully this sparks interest on the DCT forum, Mindblower!

Hi MB!
I've been watching Steve and Leo on Twit TV for many years. As you say, there is much information to be had.

And don't ignore some of the fantastic tools Steve has written over the years. They can be found at his website, and they are free, with the exception of SpinRite, of course.

Right on Richard.  I downloaded a few of their shows from YouTube, but prefer reading the podcast.  Thanks for mentioning Steve's free software.  My favourite is ShieldsUP. I purchase SpinRite v5.0 years ago (currently at v6.1).  An excellent investment in preventive maintenance for HDD and SSD's, Mindblower!

ShieldsUP and Benchmark are my two favorites.
