Re: 5 security tips for shared or public computers

The original article beforeediting didn't have any direct hints about
specific utilities, commands to run, etc. So I tried to keep the same
sense around the article that Sylvia, the original author, intended.
In some cases, there were two separate and distinct tips combined into
one, so I separated them for clarity. I also tried to order them in
terms of "depth" for where they took the user.

I did look at the revisions Corey saved. Those revisions were light
and didn't alter that general feel. I didn't see anything in those
revisions that mentioned specific tools or commands. Perhaps there's
an unsaved copy that didn't make it into the Wordpress instance?

I would agree with Eduard and Link the article is fairly general. I
tried to clarify what was there, put it in an order that would make as
much sense to the reader as possible, make it concise for the typical
modern reader (as well as international/ESL audiences), and keep the
sense of the original author's work.
