Interesting article about desktop search tools

Hi Dad,

Thanks for the lovely BBQ last night; with a rather bloated feeling I cycled home (arrival at 22:15).

As is my habit here at work, I scan various sites for interesting news within the range of sites that we're allowed to access (mostly financial). I came across this article about desktop searching and the security problems involved with it (as more and more free tools become available):
<http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/story/0,10801,102159,00.html>

It kind of follows on to our Outlook [.pst] file format discussion as most of these tools can access Outlook to search them. As they cache their information, they thereby transform it into another format ...

Gegroet. Paul.
