Two messages:

One from:

"SYMANTEC_MAIL_SECURITY"

and another from

"Internet Mail Delivery"

It tells me I have a failed delivery message from my email account.

Both came via Hotmail. If you send out messages from a "free" account like hotmail, it'll come back from Hotmail, not some chump ass address...

Since both Hotmail and my computer have virus protection, I opened the email anyway... The virus didn't download, but my computer said it had one on it.

DON'T OPEN THESE EMAILS

If it had not been for Virus protection, I wouldn't have been able to type this.


Just a heads up!

I thought all Mac owners had VWs. Did you used to own a VW?

Nope.

96 Chev Cavalier LS

03 Mitsu Eclipse GTS

Both crappy. Both better than a VW


I got a mac cause I needed it for design school when I went to Brown. No need for it now.

And for you computer nerds *cough* Raptor *cough* I'm sorry I don't posses the knowlege to use whatever it is you waste your time with at QPR for a computer.... I'll keep my Crapintosh.




Back to topic....


Did anyone else get these e-mails?

I have been running Linux since late 92 and not ever have I had one virus. There are reasons. I laugh at AJ who spends seriously about 3-4 hours a week running virus software and rebooting. I like Mac OSX since it is based on BSD, otherwise, if it isn't a Unix variant, I won't waste time with it. Everyone thinks they have to have Winblows to play their games and run some specific app, but it is a lie. There are a million ways around it. I can run many windows apps emulated probably better than they would on windows. The ones I can't, there is an equal or better Linux version and if worse comes to worse I can run it in a full windows virtual machine that will run any windows app. If it has a problem, I can kill just that virtual machine and the box stays up. My old server downtown has been up almost all year, rebooted once to physically move it to a different rack. My machine at the office only gets shutdown in large storms, no need to reboot.

I don't miss the joys of windows. Or mac for that matter. You all have fun with your viruses
