I regularly get e-mails from Waitrose, telling me they have deleted e-mails with viruses in them. I wasn't sure about this one, so I forwarded it back to them to see if it was genuine. There seem to be no end of these viruses now. I can see me partitioning the hard disc and running Linux on one part for e-mail. My laptop is really on it's last legs now and I would like a Mac to replace it. The only niggle is the lack of floppy disc drive - and many PC manufacturers are now not fitting them. I use these discs a great deal, and I dislike the thought of having to burn a CD just for a few files which sit easily on a floppy. Malcolm
