Just a word of warning.....
I have gotten 9 KLEZ (Variation H) virus e-mails in the last 2 days. Many are coming in the name of Rocky Johnson, lizkearns or sa, and have attached *.bat files. Anti-virus caught all of them, fortunately.
Most everyone should be protected against this one, but it's never a bad idea to update. And, be very careful when opening attached files.
Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX, Linux users, as usual, can ignore this warning.

It is getting to the point where I don't want to download anything, especially something that comes with an eml file extension like Macro-Shaft's Outhouse Express....I don't know about other ISP's, but at least AOL has a setting that will not open the file after download unless you tell it to. I have never picked up a virus program through AOL, as their screening seems to be very tight. I hear MS is also doing that, but they are not as aggressive as AOL is in screening virus-carrying downloads.
This is off the subject:
Daryl, why does WIN 95, 98, and ME glitch sound files while something is running in the background and Win 2000 Pro does not?
Someone explained to me in terms that Win 95, 98, and ME is like a single barrel shotgun where windows 2000 Pro is a double barrel shotgun which uses one barrel for different things, and the other barrel for other different things at the same time.
Josh told me tonight that he installed Windows 2000 Professional in one of his machines on my suggestion, and the sound is running glitch free. By the way it sounds, Josh is happier than a hog in a pen full of shit when he plays his music from the hard drives at the same time he surfs the net and opens and closes programs.
