I just heard from a friend today that there is a VERY nasty virus that has
been unleashed and it shows up in the form of an email entitled "GOOD TIMES"
or something to that effect. If you see this post show up in your In Box,
delete it IMMEDIATELY! Do not read it! My friend told me that it will create
some kind of endless loop in your hard drive and wipe EVERYTHING out! If
your hard drive starts acting up, I was told that you should Reset the
computer pronto. That's the scoop. Keep yer eyes open!

Hoax. Next?

(No, really. Because there are n different mail programs out there and
none of them to the best of my knowledge do anything to mail other
than store it, it's impossible to trash a system by reading mail.
Now, if you get a program in the mail, decode and run it, THEN you
could be in for it.  But if you're the kinda person who decodes progs
mailed to you out of the blue and runs them you're inviting
disaster. :)
