I have no problem being informed that there is something wrong,and upon
learning of it I take immediate steps,and I don't take the above as a
flame,but carelessness has nothing to do with it, I have been into
computers,bbsing,and the inet all together,using everything from 4bit
systems,c64's, various flavours of apple,amiga,and IBM, for a bit over
24 years,(20+ of them with a modem)and have NEVER (till now!)had a virus
get onto any system,I am almost religious in scanning anything that I
download,NEVER open any email attachments,UNLESS I have specifically
asked someone to send them to me,and then only after they're scanned.
Now since everyone has had thier say on the virus,can we all get back
to the purpose of this list?
