Subject:      Love the list!

Sunday...read a few of the digests sitting around on the ol' HP sleepstation.

Water heating: saw a most fine bus conversion (schoolbus) they had a super heavy duty blue waterbed on a rack on the roof. Had to cover it 'cause the water got tooo hot. Put an insulating layer on at night so hot water available for the morning shower.

The virus thing: On a snoozestation an .exe file is not dangerous as you can't execute it. However on a PeaSea using windoze and some glitzy mailer if you doubleclick the attachment to the text message IT WILL RUN and do whatever it was designed to do. This is deadly for the unwary. So never boink any attachment that is an .exe or .bat or .com file UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN OF IT"S ORIGIN and IT HAS BEEN SCANNED FOR VIRI!

Don't ask how I learned this. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
