 Te> According to my information, tomorrow, Sunday 9/22, is the day the
 Te> HANTAVIRUS is to appear.  You can pick it up only through the
 Te> internet.  So beware.  And I think it only affects IBM compatibles.
 Te> Anyone have more info on this?

 >correct) nor UN-PC but it's carried by your mouse.


I think there is a little confusion here. Someone was making a joke about the
very real and dangerous hanta virus which is carried by the rodent called a
mouse. The next time you wash mouse urine off a piano plate I suggest you
wear rubber gloves. No Joke.

A computer virus is due to hit tomorrow, Sept.22. So before midnight tonight
you may want to change the date on your computer to the 23rd and then change
it back to the 23rd on Monday. You can also just not turn your computer on
from midnight tonight until after midnight tomorrow.
