	One person who is local to MN who would be an excellent choice
would be Bruce Schneier of Counterpane systems.  He is very highly
respected in the field of computer security.

	I would say that he's actually one of the top 5-10 names in the
world when it comes to computer security, and he lives in MN.  :-)

Have fun (if at all possible),
