Join us for our annual *Christmas lunch (*See disclaimer)
at the Capital Grille in Tampa on Thursday December 4, 2008 at
11AM. It is a customer appreciation and holiday season
get-together.
This event is part of our series of IT related seminars and will
focus on Network Insecurity - The year in review and the way
forward.
Paul Henry
will recap on what happened in 2008 and what lies in store for
2009.
Our guest speaker is: Santa Claus; Santa Claus, also known as
Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply "Santa"
is a historical, legendary and mythological character associated
with bringing gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The popular
North American form Santa Claus originated as a mispronunciation of
Dutch Sinterklaas, which in turn is a contracted form of Sint
Nicolaas (Saint Nicholas). However, the Dutch Sinterklaas is very
different from Santa Claus in many ways. Santa Claus has a suit
that comes in many colors depending on the country. The most common
depiction (red with white cuffs, collar, and black leather belt)
became the more popular image in the United States in the
mid-to-late 19th century.
