[QUOTE="danb, post: 883730, member: 62850"] That was what I was aiming for ;). Maybe one day we will join AMTSO, but not any time soon. BTW, when I said "I am serious about thinking of recommendations for the testing labs... I am certain they are open to new ideas.", what I meant was MT users should think of ways to improve testing and submit their suggestions to the labs. I actually started thinking about it today when I was at the park. I have heard that there are very smart and capable people at most or all of the labs and that they know what they are doing. But who knows, someone might think of a simple suggestion that changes everything. I think it would be cool for the labs to install a lightweight sensor on 20,000 or so random machines and all of the running items would be continually monitored by the labs. They could use something like WLC to filter out all of the obviously safe items (and installed security software), and maybe use VT to detect all of the other items. Then do some magical things from there. I think something like this is about the only way to achieve real world efficacy. Just a thought... probably not a very good one ;). Thank you Burrito ;).
