My, my, you are having a bad day. Time for a nip down to the local pub? Call it a day and start over tomorrow?
As far a being protected by disclaimers if you cause a "baddie" to be downloaded I have no idea. I always say no to anything people want me to download to use their site. Comet trails, gator, kazaa, etc. are all the spawn of the devil. At least I made my husband be "tech support" for his father who has been going round and round with the blaster worm. We got rid of it twice already but he kept putting off downloading the patches because it would take too long. Since he retired he's a night owl anyway. So why not do it while he's playing solitaire at midnight, sigh. Cheryl D.

(I told you I was having a bad day........lol) ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
