Re: [SG] OT:Virus - no joke

For those thinking this is just another virus scare, my son had
one do this to his computer within the last 6 weeks.  He had to
redo the bios (whatever this is) and everything else on his
computer.  What a mess!  Don't take chances.

In fact, because of these scares, I am wondering if we should
make some policy about not sending files, pictures, etc. to each
other on this maillist?  Maybe just privately?

I don't want to be an alarmnist but after having to send my son
to live elsewhere, the computer genius in my house is gone and I
would be up a very big creek without a paddle if something goes
down!

I don't usually try to push my column, but if some of you happen
to be interested in rock gardening, I am doing a series right
now.  This week's topic is saxifrages.
