FYI to anyone who hasn't seen this yet ...

Quoted from today's issue of NewsScan (http://www.newsscan.com):

> SECURITY HOLE IN NETSCAPE
> 
> Because of a security hole in the Netscape browser, about a thousand
> computers have been infected in a way that would allow a network vandal to
> see, run, and delete files on the victim's computer. Netscape is working
> rapidly to solve the problem, but network security experts are suggesting
> that, until the solution is found, Netscape users should disable the Java
> programming languages in their browsers.

  (Actually, I really think this is incorrect.  It should read, "Network
security experts are suggesting that Netscape users should disable Java,
period".  (-:  )
