Dear Cousins, I am still here, although I've had many problems trying to get my computer straight after the virus hit. The first problem was that I didn't recognize it was a virus. It goes out to all persons whom you have in your address book, and you don't know it. Then I tried to download the anti-virus software and my internet connection kept switching off in the middle of it, or downloading so slow I couldn't retrieve the download. Three days of that! Then I found that my computer had too little memory to be able to run anything. I still can't print anything, because a fatal exception occurs. I've rearranged the drive space 50 times and still can't print. So maybe the configuration was attacked by the virus. Anyway, it's been interesting, time consuming, and nutsy making. (Nutsier making!) I sure hope that everyone who got virus messages from my machine will forgive it; it knew not what it did, and neither did I! My e-mail seems to be okay now, (I quarantined three files) but I'm sending this from my "emergency" e-mail. where you can always reach me ultimately! Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
