Well, I did it again. Got hit with a virus and knocked my main
machine out. I had collected some messages to answer but they are
all locked up in the other computer, as well as my address book. So
if you are expecting a reply from me, please be patient. And for
those of you who are used to my meticulous spelling... there's no
spell checker on this machine.

Just as a warning to everyone; be careful out there. This virus
didn't come to me hidden in e-mail, I clicked something I shouldn't
have clicked. I didn't read the link closely enough. I had been
surfing late at night (early in the morning) and had wandered far
afield, searching genealogy sites. I got someplace, I haven't the
faintest idea where, that "said" the link on the page would open a
picture of a William Mullins and his wife. As I am directly
descended from William "Mullens", I clicked on it. Just AFTER I
clicked I noticed the link name ended in .exe. I was pretty certain
I was sunk before the virus hit. So watch it, err on the side of
caution, They're out to get us.

Peace --Joe
