I'm posting this message as a reply to John Jones' 12/14 message that 
Dave Silverburg had called him to say his computer had a virus that 
he was afraid he might have passed on to iris-talks, presumably on 
his last post (12/9: message 24501.

I read that post, so I may have read Silverberg's too, and the same 
day, because I logged on, read my e-mail, read iris-talks, then 
signed off for a few hours; and when I tried to log on several hours 
later, I could not.  Windows wouldn't come up.  I've had my computer 
in for service for the two weeks since, got it back Sat. 12/30.

Did anyone else experience such a failure, or was it coincidental to 
Dave's virus?
