[Fwd: again VIRUS WARNING!!!!]
This virus warning is a hoax. Email itself can not spread a virus. You have
to open
an .EXE or .DOC attachment to get a virus. PC's are prone to viruses.
Mac's rarely get them. (Probably because the little creeps who write
viruses are mostly using PC's.)
OB meteorites: has anyone found a piece of the Denver bolide yet??
