I received something from Dennis Brownridge as well. I opened it, but not
the attachment because it looked suspicious. It appears to have come
straight from DB not the USMA.
The subject line was WONELI (as in Whoa Nelli?)
The message was "POWERIAOVO"
I'll have my puter nerds look at it. I'm running Windows NT-so far I
haven't had anything blow up.
