1.      Emergency virus alert

Like I said before, this is shaping up to be a busy holiday
season. :\

Rather than restating what has already been stated, please read
either of these articles.

This is apparently another very serious virus outbreak.  I
personally have not received any of these infected attachments
but that doesn't mean I won't.

Basic rule of thumb:  Never open ANY email attachment until you
have verified that the person you received it from INTENDED to
send it to you!  Learn this rule, practice it, teach it to your
children.  Don't let a virus fool you into thinking the person
you received it from intended to send it to you.  Always check.
If you do, 99 times out of a hundred you will never be affected
by viruses as they propagate the net.

That's news for now.

Be informed,
Be involved,
Be well.
