Further to my previous note, IS Thawte = Thwaite? A search on Alltheweb
gave me definite hits on Thwaite.

Good career choice, my man. I was in SA when Mark Shuttleworth sold Thawte
to Verisign. A mere 3.5 Billion SA Rands later ... Admittedly, after he
converts the rubbish to real money, he barely has US$ 350e6. ;) Enough to
live on for a week or 2 I suppose.
