Got a laptop? Sit in a hearing and e-mail the legislators on the committee during the testimony. Anyone can do it, but it only works with lawmakers who are computer savvy and check their e-mails, like Assemblyman Dennis Nolan, R-Las Vegas. Nolan opened a porn virus which shut down the Legislature's e-mail Wednesday and Thursday. He opened the e-mail, thinking it was from an engineering associate, but it was a virus that sent X-rated pictures to all the people on his address book -- including fellow lawmakers. http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/2001/May-14-Mon-2001/news/16070714.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if it remains intact.
