[Actually, the message contained all the data required to verify the

action at all. SOP, as I have to deal with dozens of hoaxes each
month. /Robert@140.com]

[I can appreciate your viewpoint, and share it to some extent. Unless
there is some substantial and immediate positive feedback from the
Left Coasties about the documented virus notice that I posted, I won't
bother "wwpotter@tscnet.com" listees on the subject of documented
viruses, computers, and the like. It's too much like work.

[In response to proponents of LINUX, MAC, and other good desk-top
operating system alternatives, note that MS pretty well owns the
desktop at this instant. I don't like it any more than you do, but it
is the current reality. You set your sails and course based on the
way the wind blows, not the way you wish it did. /Robert@140.com]
