Not just a PC user, a PC user running some version of Windows and Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express who hasn't been visiting http://windowsupdate.com regularly to get all the "security" patches and updates. (If you're running 98/98SE, make sure you DO NOT have Windows Scripting Host installed. Zap that and you've just stopped most of your viri from spreading.) ===== "Why do Zik-Zak Burgers come in plastic packs? Some of the plastic rubs off on them and increases their nutritional value!"
