ROFL!!!
I couldn't agree more.. I think it hilarious myself that people want to
blame the MUA when generally it the people and not the particular software
or OS they are using and everyone might think I'm an *ss for saying this but
... If your stupid enough to even download the attachments let alone opening
them without taking _some_kinda_ precautions then they almost deserve to by
infested by any such virus just so they can learn the hard way....
Anyways that's my two cents on this whole thing ... Now I'm gona sit back
and watch the mirad of replies this message will generate.

I'm unaffected as well, but NOT because I am smarter than anybody, I just
manage to pay attention and NEVER download attachments!
I also find it entertaining to watch all the traffic the spammers inspire.
25+ copies of the virus on this list alone, nearly 80 virus reports from 2
broken reporting entities (yes, I kept track just for fun), and maybe 150
email griping about same! Not to mention the myriad email requests for
information on the best antivirus software to use.

I'm in the same boat with all the bookkeeping and office stuff that I have
to deal with constantly on the W machine and the server stuck in the dungeon
in the back office. I telnet to it often, but find it just easier to use
the MS product close at hand. And, ditto about photoshop. It is a winner!
