Exactly so tg, surprisingly a lot of computer hardware isn't hooked to the net due to mission critical information etc. Currently working with a client who keep their R&D systems completely separate from any sort of web connection.

As usual a lot of bollocks being pushed by various tech companies and management consultants with only one in every ten ideas ever having the chance to fail.
