As someone who's been cleaning up the Microsoft monolith at the St Albans Community Centre and on friends' PCs, I second that! It's amazing how MS Windows can be affected by malware - one PC at the St Albans CC refused to halt for quite a while, and manual halts are _so_ _much_ _fun_ with FAT when you start the silly thing up later - I investigated the Registry and deleted some malware entries, and finally got it working properly. This sort of detail won't be in that report. (And I do mean detail!) And the devil's in the details. > > As I said, waste of time. > > Volker -- Wesley Parish * * * Clinersterton beademung - in all of love. RIP James Blish * * * Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?"
