Re: [aroid-l] Possible spam/virus.

Hi

I'm on Windows ME, one of the systems supposedly not affected by the recent
Blaster worm, and have not been inundated with this spam problem - is there
anyone else out there on ME (or am I the only one to ever buy it - usually
the case when it comes to technology; I AM BetaMax man) who HAS received
these emails?

Pete
