Although it's not the way we're doing things now, it makes a hell of a lot more sense to stop creating enemies than it does to try to make yourself impervious to every conceivable, or even every feasible mode of attack those enemies could muster.
Don't know what you're smoking, but I want some!
Sorry, couldn't resist..... not ranting, just serious banter. :o)
I'm a peace-through-strength-nic. If you are breathing and have something worth having, you'll either have enemies at a distance or serve them up close. I'd rather do the former. Consider Kuwait's history with Iraq.
As for the topic of the post, if EMP is an issue there will be a sufficient change in our lifestyle that I wonder how many of these solid-state things will still be pertinent.

I think EMP is only an issue for machines that are actually running at the time of release of the pulse. A PC switched off would not be affected. I could of course be wrong about that and please correct me if I am. It would seem to make sense that only a 'live' machine would be affected though. -- Take care.
