Secret Training

CNN reports that Execs who are tech dummies seek secret training:

"You'd be surprised by what they don't know," Shaheen says. "And they're not comfortable asking the IT person in their company because then they show weakness to their staff."

I would hate to break it to them, but I'd bet their IT staff already know....
