When I got started in computer baby-sitting, I met a very old, grizzled IBM engineer.
The one lesson he imparted and that still resonates with me was this: "Never trust a computer to keep a secret, ESPECIALLY a computer connected to a network (any kind of network). If you want to keep a secret, write it on a piece of paper and keep that paper in a safe".
I think of that one often.
