Hi Everyone,
Yes, I know not pumpkin related but this may be of interest to anyone in
the group with Internet Explorer 3.0 or 3.01 Web Browser. If you did not
catch last weeks news release from Microsoft, they have announced that they
have discovered a critical security problem with the above noted browsers.
You can download the fix it software free from Microsoft. Quoting from the
San Francisco Examiner "Without the patch, an unscrupulous Web site
operator could take advantage of the flaws to wreak havoc in someone else's
computer, sending instructions to run programs secretly, send e-mail under
the other operator's name or damage software stored on a hard drive."
Download time is about 8 minutes with a 28.8 modem.
