The Internet is most certainly a marvelous place to explore. As you browse along the web's many pathways, the wealth of information to be had is almost endless. Yes, whatever you're looking for, it's out there somewhere. But there are other things out there as well, a darker side to the Information Highway. Scoundrels and criminals a-plenty. There are ambushes and traps lying in wait along your way: viruses, worms, keyloggers, spyware and much more, all placed out there for the entertainment and/or profit of others—and to cause you anything from simple annoyance to financial ruin. It's sad to say but if you browse the Internet without proper security precautions in place, you may already be "infected" and not even know it.

Okay Mr. Know-it-all, you say, just what ARE the proper security precautions I should be taking before ever venturing out onto the Net? Well, Bucky, that's where this month's General Meeting is gonna be just what you need. On Tuesday, March 28, join us at Wright State University's Fawcett Hall, Room 101, (map on page 4) for what promises to be good, solid information for each of us on the subject of Internet Security. Our featured speaker is the head of Information Technology Security at Standard Register—Sammy Spurlock. Bring all your questions and invite all your friends too because this month's topic is useful to just about everyone, not just DMA^small>® members. Even if you think you have all your bases covered, come anyway. You might just learn something new that you didn't already know. Relatives, friends, co-workers, neighbors.invite them all because the information they learn may just save them from a rather nasty experience. Let's fill the room. This meeting may prove to be the most useful topic of the entire year!!!

All are welcome. The meetings start at 7:30 p.m. Guests are always welcome. Directions are here.

Parking

WSU has agreed to issue temporary parking permits for the regular meetings in January, February, and March. These permits cost two dollars each and are good for the entire winter term. In other words, two bucks gets you a parking pass for all meetings in January, February, and March. The alternative is to take a chance and park illegally.

• For the February meeting (held March 6), write "DMA" prominently on an ordinary 8½ X 11" sheet of paper. Stick it in your windshield wiper.
• When you get to the meeting, fill out an application at the desk outside of Room 109 in Oelman Hall when you pick up your raffle ticket. Pay your $2 at that time. We'll have hang tags for you.
• You cannot get the permit if you are a WSU student, faculty, or staff member! You should have your own parking pass. All applications will be checked against the WSU student and employee data base.
• If UD is unavailable in the spring and we continue meeting at WSU, you'll need to spend $2 for another temporary permit.

Although parking regulations are not enforced as stringently after 5:00 P.M., there is some enforcement. Two dollars is cheap insurance.

After the meeting, we'll enjoy pizza and conversation at the CiCi's Pizza in Beavercreek, behind Chili's and next to OfficeMax on the southeast corner of the intersection of North Fairfield and New Germany Trebein roads. See this map for approximate location. The Beavercreek CiCi's number is 427-2433.
