I just don't get it. I must have received about 500 Sircam virus attachments by now, and they still keep coming in daily...<br><br>Why are Windows users so stupid?<br><br>sorry 'bout that... had to vent.<br><br>***<br>"Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms"<br> --Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josey Wales<br>

You must lead a clean life!<br><br>They're emails with attachments. The message is in three lines. The first and third lines are always the same, but the middle one changes from email to email. Unfortunately I forget what the lines say, but it has something to do with your receiving an attachment from a total stranger who wants your advice on what it contains.<br><br>Only a fool (or a windoze user--take your pick ) would actually open the attachment.<br><br>And that's true too.--Shakespeare, King Lear
