Hello from Japan. hehe Yea, the virus sounds real. Although I agree that it doesn't cause actual hardware damage it *is* a legitimate threat... and it's a pain in the ass to try to find a BIOS replacement since there are so many revisions and types and brands of motherboards you might as well throw it away.. heh (Lame excuse for upgrading?? ;)) Is it still like nuclear heat in Texas? Laters! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
