Since this appears to be a hot item, given the events of the past week, i will make an exception and also post a URL for the website with more extensive info; so read all abt it at: http://www.msnbc.com/news/630583.asp Note , users of WIN95 & 98 apparently are not effected; unlike those with Win2000 and NT... So a lot of us can relax! Starting with MAC users, eh! OK , that's the last message on this subject!
