Poss. virus

[Robert Myers]

I suppose there are advantages of being singularly unimpressed by Gatesian
software.  I do not use Internet Exploder or Outlook or other MicroSloth
software unless it is simply unavoidable.  My preferred browser is Netscape
4.76 (one of the older versions) and my preferred e-mail client if Eudora
Pro 5.0, both of which are freely downloadable.  One of these days Windoze
will be going by the way also.  Hello Linux?

Meanwhile, I have found that AVG from http://www.grisoft.com (a free
download with regular free updates) has done an admirable job of protecting
me from viral attack.  AVG has totally prevented all viral attacks since I
installed it several years ago.  I recommend it highly.
