Part of research is the joy of discovery. The internet opens doors and offers something about anything newsy right at your fingertips. Be creative - learn about web search engines. Peter very obviously has learned by doing, as have the rest of us. (Thank you Peter - you are the best!) My latest endeavor has been to learn more about PIN-to-PIN communications specifically as it pertains to RIM's Blackberry. One thing has lead to another and I now find myself immersed in a discussion with our own tech folks and Cingular to ensure that our 3-DES encryption key is unique to us and not the factory issued key (which is the same for all Blackberries but simple to change).
