I just heard from a friend today that there is a VERY nasty virus that has
been unleashed and it shows up in the form of an email entitled "GOOD TIMES"
or something to that effect. If you see this post show up in your In Box,
delete it IMMEDIATELY! Do not read it! My friend told me that it will create
some kind of endless loop in your hard drive and wipe EVERYTHING out! If
your hard drive starts acting up, I was told that you should Reset the
computer pronto. That's the scoop. Keep yer eyes open!
     NO, NO, NO! There is *ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBLE WAY* for a text file to be
a virus unless it is something like an encoded virus. However, even if that
is so, it *MUST* be executed to take effect.
     The "Good Times virus" has been around for many years. In fact, the
original version of the "Good Times virus" deleted E-Mail. Fancy that people
who believed in it deleted all the mail which had the words "Good Times" in
the subject.
     I repeat, there is *NO* "GOOD TIMES VIRUS!!!"
