  In the latest issue of InformationWEEK, Donn Parker is quoted
in an article about computer crime stemming from insiders as saying:

	"The number of Trojan horses, salamis, worms, viruses
	and other exotic methods are all extremely rare.  What's
	prevalent is data diddling -- changing data before or as
	it goes into the system rather than in the computer"

  OK, so what's a "salami"?   Or did the interviewer mis-hear and is
this all a bunch of bologna? :-)
