Yes. But add to this the difficulty my ISP is having right now. TeliaSonera (previously known as Telecom Finland) is having serious problems. Old messages are arriving here in batches of a dozen or so each day. Two minutes ago six arrived, originally sent on the Oct 15, 16, 17 and 18. One subject was "Da Cubbies" which I had not read and cannot remember even seeing. I can't remember the date on the virulent message that came here (allegedly from your PC) but it might have been a week or two old.
Sonera's problem was reported (on TV news, Sunday) after more than a week of no service -- they had a worm that was causing a "Denial of Service"; but they put it like this "there was a large amount of traffic." At least that's what Aino reported to me - I was under the weather at the time. The attachment, (.pif) by the way, was a program and had only one recognisable plain text word amongst its encrypted bytes 'ANAL' (in caps, I'm not shouting) and that gives one some idea of what it might be. Its been erased now. I'd drop Sonera like a hot potato if there was another provider who could give an ADSL service here. But Sonera is the only one in Toivakka and makes all kinds of excuses for not giving other companies access. They also charge the same for 256 k in Toivakka as for 512 k in Helsinki.
